Identification and characterization of NMNAT1 gene mutations in an Iranian patient with Leber congenital amaurosis 9. [PDF]
Key Clinical Message The discovery of compound heterozygous NMNAT1 mutations (c.245T>C; p.Val82Ala and c.575A>G; p.Asp192Gly) provides a genetic explanation for Leber congenital amaurosis 9 in an Iranian patient.

AON-mediated Exon Skipping Restores Ciliation in Fibroblasts Harboring the Common Leber Congenital Amaurosis CEP290 Mutation [PDF]
Leber congenital amaurosis (LCA) is a severe hereditary retinal dystrophy responsible for congenital or early-onset blindness. The most common disease-causing mutation (>10%) is located deep in intron 26 of the CEP290 gene (c.2991+1655A>G).

Mouse Models of NMNAT1-Leber Congenital Amaurosis (LCA9) Recapitulate Key Features of the Human Disease. [PDF]
The nicotinamide nucleotide adenylyltransferase 1 (NMNAT1) enzyme is essential for regenerating the nuclear pool of NAD(+) in all nucleated cells in the body, and mounting evidence also suggests that it has a separate role in neuroprotection.

Novel frameshift mutations inCRX associated with Leber congenital amaurosis [PDF]
Mutations in CRX, a photoreceptor-specific transcription factor, can cause Leber congenital amaurosis (LCA), cone-rod dystrophy (CORD), and retinitis pigmentosa (RP), all of which feature severe visual impairment.

NMNAT1 Mutations Cause Leber Congenital Amaurosis [PDF]
Leber congenital amaurosis (LCA) is an infantile-onset form of inherited retinal degeneration characterized by severe vision loss. Two-thirds of LCA cases are caused by mutations in 17 known disease genes (RetNet Retinal Information Network). Using exome

Human cone photoreceptor transplantation stimulates remodeling and restores function in AIPL1 model of end-stage Leber congenital amaurosis. [PDF]
Photoreceptor degeneration is a leading cause of untreatable sight loss. Previously, we showed that human pluripotent stem cell-derived cone photoreceptors (hCones) can rescue retinal function in the Rd1 mouse model of rod-cone dystrophy.
