Limb girdle muscular dystrophies, myofibrillar myopathies and distal myopathies v5.41 RDH11 Ida Ertmanska Classified gene: RDH11 as Amber List (moderate evidence)
Limb girdle muscular dystrophies, myofibrillar myopathies and distal myopathies v5.41 RDH11 Ida Ertmanska Added comment: Comment on list classification: There are 9 individuals from multiple unrelated families reported in literature with biallelic variants in RDH11 and juvenile-onset progressive myopathy. Hence, this gene should be promoted to Green at the next update.

Report of 16 affected individuals from 9 unrelated families with biallelic LoF RDH11 variants, frequently showing juvenile-onset progressive myopathy with vacuolar degeneration and prodromic asymptomatic hyperCKemia. Common features included: neurodevelopmental impairment (16/16), microcephaly (10/16), retinitis pigmentosa (8/16), juvenile-onset cataracts (11/16), myopathy (8/15), progressive night blindness (9/16), hypoplasia of corpus callosum (8/10 assessed by MRI). Microcephaly and distinct craniofacial traits were also recurrent. Short stature was reported in 4/16 patients.
Muscle weakness was reported as slowly progressive, associated with myopathic facies and exercise intolerance with onset in the first or second decade of life.

Report of a visually asymptomatic 7-year-old boy carrying a homozygous null variant in RDH11 [NM_016026.4:c.216C>A:p.(Cys72*)] with autism, dysmorphic features, oligodontia, microcephaly (<3rd centile) and a novel inherited retinal dystrophy. This retinopathy consisted of yellow deposits and hyperpigmentation within the RPE with absent autofluorescence and a normal electroretinogram.

Chinese patient with retinitis pigmentosa (RP), juvenile cataracts, intellectual disability, and myopathy. No microcephaly. Trio WES identified variants in RDH11: c.938T>C (p.Leu313Pro) and c.75-3C>A - confirmed in trans. Splice variant shown to cause exon 2 skipping resulting in (p.Lys26Serfs*38) change. Using immunofluorescence, authors found mislocalization of RDH11 protein in muscle cells of the patient.

3 sibs aged 8-19 years (Italian-American family) with juvenile cataracts (onset at 8-10 years old), issues with night vision, and retinitis pigmentosa, as well as other syndromic features: facial dysmorphologies, psychomotor developmental delays, learning disabilities and short stature. WES detected comp het RDH11 mutations c.C199T:p.R67* and c.C322T:p.R108*. No mention of muscle weakness or microcephaly.

RDH11 is putatively associated in OMIM with AR Retinal dystrophy, juvenile cataracts, and short stature syndrome, OMIM:616108 (accessed 1st Apr 2026).
