متن کاملLeber congenital amaurosis caused by mutations in RPGRIP1.
Recessive null mutations in retinitis pigmentosa GTPase regulator interacting protein 1 (RPGRIP1) gene are the cause of LCA6 and account for 5% to 6% of the total patient population. RPGRIP1 has an essential role in the photoreceptor connecting cilia, and photoreceptors lacking RPGRIP1 are unable to maintain the light sensing outer segments. As a result, patients lose retinal functions at an ea...
متن کاملMutations in the RPE65 gene in patients with autosomal recessive retinitis pigmentosa or leber congenital amaurosis.
RPE65 is a protein of unknown function expressed specifically by the retinal pigment epithelium. We examined all 14 exons of this gene in 147 unrelated patients with autosomal recessive retinitis pigmentosa (RP), in 15 patients with isolate RP, and in 45 patients with Leber congenital amaurosis (LCA). Sequence anomalies that were likely to be pathogenic were found in two patients with recessive...
متن کاملCRB1-Related Leber Congenital Amaurosis: Reporting Novel Pathogenic Variants and a Brief Review on Mutations Spectrum
Background: Leber congenital amaurosis (LCA) is a rare inherited retinal disease causing severe visual impairment in infancy. It has been reported that 9-15% of LCA cases have mutations in CRB1 gene. The complex of CRB1 protein with other associated proteins affects the determination of cell polarity, orientation, and morphogenesis of photoreceptors. Here, we report three novel pathogenic varia...
