Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Background: EYS mutations have been identified only in patients with autosomal recessive retinitis pigmentosa (arRP). This study was conducted to describe clinical and genetic features of a Japanese patient with autosomal recessive cone-rod dystrophy (arCRD) and EYS mutations. Methods: We performed complete ophthalmic examinations including full-field electroretinography (ERG). Genetic analysis using whole-exome sequencing and Sanger sequencing was performed to identify the disease-causing mutation in a 31-year-old male patient. Results: At the initial visit, the patient's decimal best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was 0.9 and 0.6 in his right and left eyes, respectively. Funduscopy indicated retinal degenerations were predominantly affected within the vascular arcades and preserved retinal vessels in the mid-periphery in both eyes. Visual field testing showed there were relative central scotomas and preserved peripheral visual fields in both eyes. ERG indicated there was a decreased pattern for both the rod and cone responses. At the age of 36 years, his BCVA decreased to 0.2 in both eyes. Optical coherence tomography showed marked retinal thinning of the macular regions in both eyes. Genetic analysis identified compound heterozygous truncating mutations (p.Y2935X and p.S1653KfsX2) in the EYS gene. His unaffected parents were heterozygous for each mutation. Conclusions: Our results demonstrated that EYS mutations can be the cause of not only arRP but also arCRD. Our findings extend the phenotypic spectrum of patients with EYS mutations. © 2014 Springer-Verlag.
