center dot PURPOSE: Senior-Loken syndrome (SLSN) is an auto-somal recessive disorder characterized by retinopathy and nephronophthisis. This study aimed to evaluate whether different phenotypes are associated with different vari-ants or subsets of 10 SLSN-associated genes based on an in-house data set and a literature review.center dot DESIGN: Retrospective case series.center dot METHODS: Patients with biallelic variants in SLSN-associated genes, including NPHP1, INVS, NPHP3, NPHP4, IQCB1, CEP290, SDCCAG8, WDR19, CEP164, and TRAF3IP1, were recruited. Ocular phe-notypes and nephrology medical records were collected for comprehensive analysis.center dot RESULTS: Variants in 5 genes were identified in 74 patients from 70 unrelated families, including CEP290 (61.4%), IQCB1 (28.6%), NPHP1 (4.2%), NPHP4 (2.9%), and WDR19 (2.9%). The median age at the onset of retinopathy was approximately 1 month (since birth). Nystagmus was the most common initial sign in patients with CEP290 (28 of 44, 63.6%) or IQCB1 (19 of 22, 86.4%) variants. Cone and rod responses were extinguished in 53 of 55 patients (96.4%). Char-acteristic fundus changes were observed in CEP290- and IQCB1-associated patients. During follow-up, 70 of the 74 patients were referred to nephrology, among whom nephronophthisis was not detected in 62 patients (88.6%) at a median age of 6 years but presented in 8 patients (11.4%) aged approximately 9 years.center dot CONCLUSIONS: Patients with pathogenic variants in CEP290 or IQCB1 presented early with retinopathy, whereas other patients with INVS, NPHP3, or NPHP4 variants first developed nephropathy. Therefore, aware -ness of the genetic and clinical features may facilitate the clinical management of SLSN, especially early interven-tion of kidney problems for patients with eyes affected first.
