Purpose:
The aim of this study is to present an unusual fleck retina condition associated with a novel RLBP1 gene mutation.
Methods/Results:
A 25-year-old male patient presented with flecks on fundoscopic examination. Clinical presentation, multimodal imaging, and electroretinography were compatible with the diagnosis of benign familial fleck retina. Genetic analysis detected an RLBP1 gene, a gene commonly associated with more severe retinal diseases.
Conclusion:
Flecked retina syndromes and other genetic retinal diseases have a complex genotype-phenotype relation and need further research for their pathophysiology to be fully understood.

The first-ever tumor suppressor gene called Rb was identified in retinoblastoma - a rare eye tumor in children. In inherited forms of the disease, a child inherits one defective copy of the Rb gene, which predisposes them to retinoblastoma. However,...
