description IntroductionX-linked retinoschisis (XLRS) is a potential target for gene supplementation approaches. To establish potential structural and functional endpoints for clinical trials, a comprehensive understanding of the inter-eye symmetry, relationship between structural and functional parameters, and disease progression is vital.MethodsIn this retrospective multicentre study, 118 eyes of 59 XLRS patients with RS1 mutations were assessed. Information from center databases included: RS1 variant; age at presentation; best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), central retinal thickness (CRT), macular volume (MV) at presentation and at the last follow up; full-field electroretinogram (ERG) findings; presence of peripheral retinoschisis and complications (vitreous hemorrhage, retinal detachment); treatment with systemic or topical carbonic anhydrase inhibitors (CAI).ResultsInter-eye symmetry revealed strong correlation in CRT (r = 0.77; p < 0.0001) and moderate correlations in MV (r = 0.51, p < 0.0001) and BCVA (r = 0.49; p < 0.0001). Weak or no correlations were observed between BCVA and structural parameters (CRT, MV). Peripheral retinoschisis was observed in 40 (68%), retinal detachment in 9 (15%), and vitreous hemorrhage in 5 (8%) patients, respectively. Longitudinal examinations (mean, 4.3 years) showed no BCVA changes; however, a reduction of the CRT (p = 0.02), and MV (p = 0.01) was observed. Oral and/or topical CAI treatment did not significantly alter the CRT (p = 0.34).DiscussionThe XLRS phenotype demonstrates a strong CRT symmetry between the eyes within individual patients and stable BCVA over several years. BCVA exhibits a weak correlation with the morphological parameters of retinal thickness (CRT MV). In our cohort, longitudinal functional changes were not significant, likely attributed to the short average follow-up period. Furthermore, CAI treatment didn’t influence both morphological and functional outcomes.
