Characteristics of Anti-transducin Retinal Phenotype in Comparison to Anti-Recoverin and Anti-Enolase Phenotypes

Features Anti-recoverin Anti-enolase Anti-transducin-α
Average Age * 69 64 57
Onset Acute, sudden Subacute, chronic Sudden progressive
Ocular symmetry Usually symmetric Often symmetric Symmetric
Presentation Severe central and peripheral vision loss Mostly central vision loss Mild, patchy to global acuity and field loss
Course Rapid rod and cone loss Mild to severe progression Mild progression
Full Field ERG Severe equal rod and cone loss Normal to severe cone loss Reduced rod more than cone dysfunction
Multifocal ERG Severely abnormal Mildly to severely abnormal Decreased amplitudes, Delayed timing
Association with cancer Almost 100% About 40% About 25 %
Relationship of cancer diagnosis of retinopathy onset Retinopathy precedes diagnosis of cancer by months Retinopathy develops after diagnosis of cancer by months to years Retinopathy develops after diagnosis of cancer by months to years**
