Identification and Correction of Mechanisms Underlying Inherited Blindness in Human iPSC-Derived Optic Cups [PDF]
Leber congenital amaurosis (LCA) is an inherited retinal dystrophy that causes childhood blindness. Photoreceptors are especially sensitive to an intronic mutation in the cilia-related gene CEP290, which causes missplicing and premature termination, but ...

Cone rod dystrophies (CRDs) (prevalence 1/40,000) are inherited retinal dystrophies that belong to the group of pigmentary retinopathies. CRDs are characterized by retinal pigment deposits visible on fundus examination, predominantly localized to the ...

A novel GUCY2D mutation in a Chinese family with dominant cone dystrophy.
To describe the clinical and genetic findings in a Chinese family with autosomal dominant cone dystrophy (adCOD).One family was examined clinically, and genomic DNA was extracted from venous blood of all participants. Genotyping and haplotyping analysis was performed on the known genetic loci for adCOD and autosomal dominant cone-rod dystrophies ...

The GUCY2D (guanylate cyclase 2D) gene encodes a photoreceptor guanylate cyclase (GC-E), that is predominantly expressed in the cone outer segments. Mutations in the GUCY2D lead to severe retinal disorders such as autosomal dominant cone-rod dystrophy (adCRD) and autosomal recessive Leber congenital amaurosis type 1.

The role of intraflagellar transport in cilia maintenance [PDF]
"Cilia are microtubule-base protrusions from the surface of most cells in the human body. They can be found in species from all branches of the eukaryotic tree of life and were probably already present in the last eukaryotic common ancestor (Carvalho ...

To identify the genetic locus and mutation responsible for autosomal dominant cone dystrophy (adCOD) in a large Chinese family and to describe the phenotypes of the patients.Genomic DNA and clinical data were collected from the family. Genome-wide linkage analysis was performed to map the disease locus, and Sanger dideoxy sequencing was used to detect ...
