Functional and behavioral restoration of vision by gene therapy in the guanylate cyclase-1 (GC1) knockout mouse. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2010
Recessive mutations in guanylate cyclase-1 (Gucy2d) are associated with severe, early onset Leber congenital amaurosis-1(LCA1). Gucy2d encodes guanylate cyclase (GC1) is expressed in photoreceptor outer segment membranes and produces cGMP in these cells.

GUCY2D Gene Loss-of-Function Mutations Responsible for Leber Congenital Amaurosis 1 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Abstract Background: Leber congenital amaurosis (LCA) is a group of severe congenital neurodegenerative diseases. Variants in the guanylate cyclase 2D gene ( GUCY2D ), which encodes guanylate cyclase 1 (ROS-GC1), are associated with LCA1 and account for 6%–21% of all LCA cases.

GUCY2D cone–rod dystrophy-6 is a “phototransduction disease” triggered by abnormal calcium feedback on retinal membrane guanylyl cyclase 1 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The Arg838Ser mutation in retinal membrane guanylyl cyclase 1 (RetGC1) has been linked to autosomal dominant cone-rod dystrophy type 6 (CORD6). It is believed that photoreceptor degeneration is caused by the altered sensitivity of RetGC1 to calcium ...

Genetic epidemiology of inherited retinal diseases in a large patient cohort followed at a single center in Italy

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2022
Inherited retinal diseases (IRDs) are the leading cause of vision loss in the working-age population. We performed a retrospective epidemiological study to determine the genetic basis of IRDs in a large Italian cohort (n = 2790) followed at a single ...

Comprehensive Rare Variant Analysis via Whole-Genome Sequencing to Determine the Molecular Pathology of Inherited Retinal Disease [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Inherited retinal disease is a common cause of visual impairment and represents a highly heterogeneous group of conditions. Here, we present findings from a cohort of 722 individuals with inherited retinal disease, who have had whole-genome sequencing (n

Homozygosity mapping and targeted sanger sequencing reveal genetic defects underlying inherited retinal disease in families from pakistan.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
BackgroundHomozygosity mapping has facilitated the identification of the genetic causes underlying inherited diseases, particularly in consanguineous families with multiple affected individuals. This knowledge has also resulted in a mutation dataset that
