We report the case of an otherwise healthy 10-year-old girl referred to our institution for gradually decreasing vision and nyctalopia. Based on clinical examination, she was diagnosed with inherited retinal dystrophy, presumably due to enhanced S-cone syndrome (ESCS). Subsequent genetic testing confirmed a rare combination of NR2E3 heterozygous mutations: c.119-2A>C and c.932G>A p.(Arg311Gln).

Purpose: We describe an atypical presentation of an 11-year-old female with enhanced S-cone syndrome (ESCS).
Methods: Case report. The patient underwent a thorough ophthalmic examination and investigations such as colour fundus photography, optical coherence tomography, fundus autofluorescence, fluorescein and indocyanine angiography, an electroretinogram and genetic testing.
Key Clinical Message: Digital technology significantly enhances subperiosteal implantology by enabling precise presurgical planning based on CBCT scans. This technology reduces patient trauma and ensures optimal implant fit, presenting a promising alternative to traditional analogue methods.
Abstract: In the last decades, significant progress has been made in oral implantology, particularly with endosseous implants, primarily due to advancements brought about by the digital revolution.

Article Synopsis
- Correctly identifying how genetic variants affect molecular processes is crucial for developing targeted therapies for diseases, but genetic analysis alone can be misleading.
- The study focuses on the NR2E3 gene variant c.932G>A, which is linked to Enhanced S Cone Syndrome, revealing that this variant causes a problematic RNA splicing issue rather than directly altering the protein function.
- The research also suggests that similar splicing problems could be present in other genetic variants related to inherited retinal diseases, highlighting the importance of examining RNA splicing in understanding these conditions.

Inherited retinal diseases (IRD) are a leading cause of blindness in the working age population and in children. The scope of this review is to familiarise clinicians and scientists with the current landscape of molecular genetics, clinical phenotype, retinal imaging and therapeutic prospects/completed trials in IRD. Herein we present in a comprehensive and concise manner: (i) macular dystrophies (Stargardt disease (ABCA4), X-linked retinoschisis (RS1), Best disease (BEST1), PRPH2-associated pattern dystrophy, Sorsby fundus dystrophy (TIMP3), and autosomal dominant drusen (EFEMP1)), (ii) cone and cone-rod dystrophies (GUCA1A, PRPH2, ABCA4, KCNV2 and RPGR), (iii) predominant rod or rod-cone dystrophies (retinitis pigmentosa, enhanced S-Cone syndrome (NR2E3), Bietti crystalline corneoretinal dystrophy (CYP4V2)), (iv) Leber congenital amaurosis/early-onset severe retinal dystrophy (GUCY2D, CEP290, CRB1, RDH12, RPE65, TULP1, AIPL1 and NMNAT1), (v) cone dysfunction syndromes (achromatopsia (CNGA3, CNGB3, PDE6C, PDE6H, GNAT2, ATF6), X-linked cone dysfunction with myopia and dichromacy (Bornholm Eye disease; OPN1LW/OPN1MW array), oligocone trichromacy, and blue-cone monochromatism (OPN1LW/OPN1MW array)).
