| Abstract | We present ophthalmic features and genetic analysis findings of a 44-year-old croatian patient with enhanced S-cone syndrome (ESCS). Complete ophthalmic examination, Ishihara colour vision test, dark adaptometry, spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT), fundus autofluorescence imaging, Goldmann visual field and automated perimetry, full-field electroretinography (ERG), multifocal ERG, S-cone ERG and ON-OFF ERG were performed. Mutation screening of the NR2E3 gene, which encodes a photoreceptor-specific orphan nuclear receptor, was performed with polymerase chain reaction amplification and direct sequencing. The patient has good visual acuity and normal colour vision. Fundus examination showed normal posterior pole and nummular pigment depositions at the level of the retinal pigment epithelium in the mid-periphery of the retina. The SD-OCT images showed normal macular structure and thickness. The ERG showed characteristic findings: photopic and scotopic responses to the same stimulus had a similar waveform and were dominated by short-wavelength-sensitive mechanisms. Mutation analysis revealed the known NR2E3 mutation c.481delA (p.Thr161HisFsX18) and the novel NR2E3 variant c.1120C > T (p.Leu374Phe). To the best of our knowledge, this is the only ESCS patient older than 40 years who phenotypically has preserved macular structure, good central visual acuity and severely depressed full-field ERG as well as the first reported patient with NR2E3 mutation from Croatia. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
