Mutations in the human vitelliform macular dystrophy type 2 (VMD2) gene are known to cause autosomal dominant Best macular dystrophy (BMD), a degenerative disorder of the central retina. VMD2, together with VMD2L1, VMD2L2 and VMD2L3, belong to a closely related gene family characterized by several transmembrane (TM) spanning helical domains and an invariant arginine, phenylalanine and proline (RFP) tripeptide...
