Leber 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 کاملInteraction of nephrocystin-4 and RPGRIP1 is disrupted by nephronophthisis or Leber congenital amaurosis-associated mutations.
RPGR-interacting protein 1 (RPGRIP1) is a key component of cone and rod photoreceptor cells, where it interacts with RPGR (retinitis pigmentosa GTPase regulator). Mutations in RPGRIP1 lead to autosomal recessive congenital blindness [Leber congenital amaurosis (LCA)]. Most LCA-associated missense mutations in RPGRIP1 are located in a segment that encodes two C2 domains. Based on the C2 domain o...

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...
