Molecular pathology of X linked retinoschisis: mutations interfere with retinoschisin secretion and oligomerisation
17 Dec 2005
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND/AIM: X linked retinoschisis (XLRS) is caused by mutations in RS1 which encodes the discoidin domain protein retinoschisin, secreted by photoreceptors and bipolar cells. Missense mutations occur throughout the gene and some of these are known to interfere with protein secretion. This study was designed to investigate the functional consequences of missense mutations at different locations in...
