2. Figure 1
Fundus appearance at early, middle, and late stages of NFRCD. The left eyes of NF-001-p09, at age 54 years, exhibiting RPA and scallop-bordered atrophy inferonasally (A and B), of NF-001-p24 at age 34, with RPA (C), of NF-004-p02, at age 66 years, with peripheral lacunar atrophy (D), and of NF-001-p18, at ages 27 years (E) and 46 years (F), showing progression from RPA to advanced atrophy. Also shown is a composite of the fundus of NF-001-p18, at age 27 years (G).

Visual-field defects in NFRCD with Goldmann perimeter: NF-001-p16, at age 26 years, with visual acuity 6/6, showing ring scotoma at 6–25 degrees (a), NF-001-p24, at age 34 years, with visual acuity 6/15, ring scotoma at 1–30 degrees (b), NF-001-p09, at age 54 years, with visual acuity 6/60, showing the central 10 degrees and peripheral islands only (c), and NF-004-p01, at age 57 years, with visual acuity restricted to detection of hand motion, peripheral islands only (d).

4. Figure 3
Mutation and haplotype data for six Newfoundland pedigrees diagnosed with NFRCD. All individuals were genotyped for D15S205 and D15S127 and were sequenced for RLBP1. Haplotypes were then constructed for D15S205-SpliceMut1-SpliceMut2-D15S127, with polymorphic alleles expressed in terms of base pairs. SpliceMut1 = 324G→A; SpliceMut2 = IVS3+2 T→C. Each colored bar represents a unique haplotype: yellow = G→A-wt-142; blue = G→A-wt-134; red = 159-wt-IVS3+2 T→C-136; green = 135-wt- IVS3+2 T→C-140; gray = non–disease-associated haplotypes.

5. Figure 4
Location of mutations in RLBP1, and pedigrees harboring the mutations. A, Two splice mutations observed at the exon 3/intron 3 junction and predicted to activate a cryptic splice site 6 bp into intron 3. This splice site will create a transcript that, if translated, will produce a protein that terminates early in exon 4. SpliceMut1 = 324G→A; SpliceMut2 = IVS3+2 T→C. B, Subsets of the large pedigree NF-001 and of pedigrees NF-005 and NF-008. Patients NF-001-p01 and NF-001-p02 are homozygous for the 324G→A mutation. NF-001-p38 is homozygous for the IVS3+2 T→C mutation, whereas NF-001-p45 is heterozygous for each mutation. Patients in NF-005 and NF-008 are heterozygous for both alterations.
