Abstract excerpt
A range of cone and cone-rod dystrophies (CORD) have been observed in man, caused by mutations in retinal guanylate cyclase 1 (RetGC1) and guanylate cyclase activating protein 1 (GCAP 1). The CORD causing mutations in RetGC1 are located at a mutation "hot spot" within the dimerisation domain, where R838 is the key residue. Three disease causing mutations have been found in human GCAP1, resulting in cone or...
