In this study, we describe a consanguineous Chinese family with ARCI due to a novel missense mutation in PNPLA1, as well as Leber congenital amaurosis due to a novel nonsense mutation in the LCA5 gene.The proband(IV-2;figure 1A) was a 14-year-old boy and the offspring of consanguineous parents from first cousins.
