Leber Congenital Amaurosis (LCA) is a severe inherited retinal dystrophy responsible for congenital or early-onset blindness. The most common pathogenic mutation (>10%) is located deep in intron 26 of the CEP290 gene (c.2991+1655A>G). It creates a strong splice donor site, leading to the insertion of a cryptographic exon encoding a premature stop codon.
