CHORIORETINAL CHANGES IN A GENETICALLY CONFIRMED CASE OF BOUCHER-NEUHÄUSER SYNDROME.

Purpose: To describe the retinal findings in a 25-year-old white woman in whom a diagnosis of Boucher-Neuhäuser Syndrome (BNS) was supported by genetic testing, which identified a missense and novel nonsense mutation in the PNPLA6 gene.

Methods: Observational case report of a 25-year-old woman who presented with primary amenorrhea, cerebellar ataxia, and mild retinal pigmentary abnormalities. Neurologic, endocrine, and genetic evaluations established a diagnosis of BNS.
