We mapped a new X-linked recessive atrophic macular degeneration locus to Xp21.1-p11.4 and show allelic involvement of the gene RPGR, which normally causes severe peripheral retinal degeneration leading to global blindness. Ten affected males whom we examined had primarily macular atrophy causing progressive loss of visual acuity with minimal peripheral visual impairment. One additional male sh...
PURPOSE To describe a macrodeletion spanning entire RCC1-like doman in the RPGR gene in one Japanese family with X-linked retinitis pigmentosa (XLRP). METHODS Clinical ophthalmologic examinations were performed and genomic DNA was extracted from blood samples. Genomic DNA was analyzed by Southern blot and PCR amplification with specific primers. RESULTS Patients had severe symptoms with ear...
X-linked retinitis pigmentosa (XLRP) is a clinically and genetically heterogeneous degenerative disease of the retina. At least five loci have been mapped for XLRP; of these, RP2 and RP3 account for 10%-20% and 70%-90% of genetically identifiable disease, respectively. However, mutations in the respective genes, RP2 and RPGR, were detected in only 10% and 20% of families with XLRP. Mutations in...
Mutations in the human RPGR gene cause one of the most common and severe forms of inherited retinal dystrophy, but the function of its protein product remains unclear. We have identified two genes resembling human RPGR (ZFRPGR1, ZFRPGR2) in zebrafish (Danio rerio), both of which are expressed within the nascent and adult eye as well as more widely during development. ZFRPGR2 appears to be funct...
purpose: retinitis pigmentosa (rp) is a hereditary eye disease in human beings. it commences at childhood and continues by nyctalopia and gradual reduction of visual field and ends up by blindness. it may be inherited in three forms of autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive and sex-linked. in this investigation we intend to study rp type as a sex-linked disease and its location on x chromosome...
Mutations affecting the retinitis pigmentosa GTPase regulator-interacting protein 1 (RPGRIP1) interactome cause syndromic retinal dystrophies. RPGRIP1 interacts with the retinitis pigmentosa GTPase regulator (RPGR) through a domain homologous to RCC1 (RHD), a nucleotide exchange factor of Ran GTPase. However, functional relationships between RPGR and RPGRIP1 and their subcellular roles are lack...
OBJECTIVE To report discordant phenotypes, resulting from the same mutation in exon ORF15 (GenBank AF286472) of the retinitis pigmentosa GTPase regulator gene (RPGR) (GenBank U57629), in 2 presumed dizygotic twin brothers with X-linked retinal disease. METHODS The 2 brothers underwent complete ophthalmic examination that included best-corrected visual acuity, slitlamp biomicroscopy, and detai...
PURPOSE The goal of this study was to identify mutations in X-chromosomal genes associated with retinitis pigmentosa (RP) in patients from Germany, The Netherlands, Denmark, and Switzerland. METHODS In addition to all coding exons of RP2, exons 1 through 15, 9a, ORF15, 15a and 15b of RPGR were screened for mutations. PCR products were amplified from genomic DNA extracted from blood samples an...
PURPOSE Retinitis pigmentosa GTPase regulator (RPGR) is a cilia-centrosomal protein that frequently mutates in X-linked retinal degeneration and associated disorders. RPGR interacts with multiple ciliary proteins in the retina. Perturbations in the assembly of RPGR complexes are associated with retinal degeneration. This study was undertaken to delineate the composition and dissection of RPGR c...
Mammalian photoreceptors contain specialised connecting cilia that connect the inner (IS) to the outer segments (OS). Dysfunction of the connecting cilia due to mutations in ciliary proteins are a common cause of the inherited retinal dystrophy retinitis pigmentosa (RP). Mutations affecting the Retinitis Pigmentosa GTPase Regulator (RPGR) protein is one such cause, affecting 10-20% of all peopl...
