Leber congenital amaurosis 15

Leber congenital amaurosis 15 is a rare inherited eye condition that affects the retina, the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye. This disease causes vision loss from an early age due to abnormal retinal function. It is known as Leber congenital amaurosis 15 because the condition is caused by a mutation in the TULP1 gene, which plays a critical role in the health and function of retinal cells.

Information about symptoms is currently limited for this condition.

Leber congenital amaurosis 15 is caused by mutations in the TULP1 gene. The TULP1 gene is important for producing a protein that helps maintain normal retinal function. When changes occur in this gene, the eye cells may not work as they should, leading to the issues seen in this condition.
