ERG responses of (±)-RPE65-61 treated LIRD mice.
Retina photoreceptor function was measured by ERG 5 days after light exposure. (A) Comparison of averaged scotopic a-wave amplitudes from three mouse groups. Seven different stimulus intensities were used, ranging from 0.002 to 400 cd s/m2.

A Gene Scan Study of RPE65 in Chinese Patients with Leber Congenital Amaurosis
Background: Leber congenital amaurosis (LCA) is a visual disease which is caused by RPE65 mutations and results in retinal degeneration and severe vision loss in early infancy. According to previous researches, mutations of the RPE65 gene account for 16%

Retinal pigment epithelium 65 kDa protein (RPE65): An update [PDF]
Vertebrate vision critically depends on an 11-cis-retinoid renewal system known as the visual cycle. At the heart of this metabolic pathway is an enzyme known as retinal pigment epithelium 65 kDa protein (RPE65), which catalyzes an unusual, possibly

Voretigene Neparvovec for the Treatment of RPE65-associated Retinal Dystrophy: Consensus and Recommendations from the Korea RPE65-IRD Consensus Paper Committee [PDF]
Mutations in the RPE65 gene, associated with Leber congenital amaurosis, early-onset severe retinal dystrophy, and retinitis pigmentosa, gained growing attention since gene therapy for patients with RPE65-associated retinal dystrophy is available in ...

In order to maintain visual sensitivity at all light levels, the vertebrate eye possesses a mechanism to regenerate the visual pigment chromophore 11-cis retinal in the dark enzymatically, unlike in all other taxa, which rely on photoisomerization.

Bax-induced apoptosis in Leber's congenital amaurosis: a dual role in rod and cone degeneration.
Pathogenesis in the Rpe65(-/-) mouse model of Leber's congenital amaurosis (LCA) is characterized by a slow and progressive degeneration of the rod photoreceptors. On the opposite, cones degenerate rapidly at early ages. Retinal degeneration in Rpe65(-/-)
