Leber congenital amaurosis (LCA) is the most severe inherited retinal dystrophy resulting in markedly impaired vision or blindness at birth. LCA is characterized by an extinguished electroretinogram in infancy, which is thought to be indicative of an early and severe impairment of both the rod and cone photoreceptors in the human retina.
