Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the gene encoding 11-cis-retinol dehydrogenase (RDH5; EC ) are associated with fundus albipunctatus, an autosomal recessive eye disease characterized by stationary night blindness and accumulation of white spots in the retina. In addition, some mutated alleles are associated with development of cone dystrophy, especially in elderly patients. The numbers of identified RDH5 mutations linked to fundus...
