On the molecular pathology of neurodegeneration in IMPDH1-based retinitis pigmentosa

Abstract excerpt

Retinitis pigmentosa (RP), the hereditary degenerative disease of the photoreceptor neurons of the retina, probably represents the most prevalent cause of registered blindness amongst those of working age in developed countries. Mutations within the gene encoding inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase 1 (IMPDH1), the widely expressed rate-limiting enzyme of the de novo pathway of guanine nucleotide biosynthesis,...
