Mutations in phosphodiesterase 6 identified in familial cases of retinitis pigmentosa. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
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

Occult macular dystrophy in an Italian family carrying a mutation in the RP1L1 gene. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Occult macular dystrophy (OMD) is an inherited macular disease characterized by progressive visual decline with the absence of visible retinal abnormalities. Typical alterations of the retinal structure are detectable by spectral domain optical coherence

Retinal pigment epithelium degeneration caused by aggregation of PRPF31 and the role of HSP70 family of proteins [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
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 ...
