Abstract excerpt
Retinitis pigmentosa is a photoreceptor degenerative disease leading to blindness in adulthood. Leber congenital amaurosis (LCA) describes a more severe condition with visual deficit in early childhood. Defects in the retinitis pigmentosa GTPase regulator (RPGR) and an RPGR-interacting protein (RPGRIP) are known causes of retinitis pigmentosa and LCA, respectively. Both proteins localize in the photoreceptor...
