A Novel N-Terminal <i>PRPF6</i> Variant in Autosomal Dominant Retinitis Pigmentosa. [PDF]
ABSTRACT This report identifies the first N‐terminal PRPF6 variant (c.514C>T) as a cause of autosomal dominant Retinitis Pigmentosa. This novel variant is associated with progressive peripheral vision loss but notably preserved central visual acuity, suggesting a distinct phenotypic expression compared to C‐terminal variants.

De Novo Occurrence of a Variant in ARL3 and Apparent Autosomal Dominant Transmission of Retinitis Pigmentosa. [PDF]
BackgroundRetinitis pigmentosa is a phenotype with diverse genetic causes. Due to this genetic heterogeneity, genome-wide identification and analysis of protein-altering DNA variants by exome sequencing is a powerful tool for novel variant and disease ...

Mutations in phosphodiesterase 6 identified in familial cases of retinitis pigmentosa. [PDF]
To delineate the genetic determinants associated with retinitis pigmentosa (RP), a hereditary retinal disorder, we recruited four large families manifesting cardinal symptoms of RP. We localized these families to regions on the human genome harboring the

Retinal pigment epithelium degeneration caused by aggregation of PRPF31 and the role of HSP70 family of proteins [PDF]
Background Mutations in pre-mRNA splicing factor PRPF31 can lead to retinitis pigmentosa (RP). Although the exact disease mechanism remains unknown, it has been hypothesized that haploinsufficiency might be involved in the ...
