Abstract
PURPOSE: To investigate microperimetry testing of RPGR-associated retinopathy in a cohort of children and adults. STUDY DESIGN: Prospective observational case series. METHODS: The coefficient of repeatability and intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) of mean sensitivity (MS) were calculated for mesopic microperimetry. Best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), contrast sensitivity (CS), MS, total volume (VTOT), and central 3-degree field volume (V3) from volumetric and topographic analyses were acquired. RESULTS: Seventy-six RPGR subjects (53 adults, 23 children) were recruited. The mean follow-up period was 2.8 years. The ICC values for MS, VTOT and V3 were 0.982 dB (95% confidence intervals, CI 0.969 to 0.989), 0.970 dB-sr (95% CI -0.02658 to 0.03691) and 0.986 dB-sr (95% CI 0.978 to 0.991), respectively. The r values for interocular MS, VTOT and V3, were 0.97 (P<0.01), 0.97 (P<0.01) and 0.98 (P<0.01) respectively, indicating strong inter-ocular correlation. The interocular correlation of progression for MS, VTOT and V3 was 0.81 (P<0.01), 0.64 (P<0.01) and 0.81 (P<0.01), respectively. There was no statistically significant difference in the interocular progression rates for MS or VTOT. V3 did show a statistically significant difference. Most patients lost retinal sensitivity rapidly during their second and third decades of life. CONCLUSIONS: The high degree of reproducibility of results and the good interocular correlation lends this modality to accurately monitoring disease progression, as well as supporting validation of the use of MP in assessing the outcomes of gene therapy clinical treatment trials.
