Identification and Characterization of a Novel Mutation in the Carbonic Anhydrase IV Gene that Causes Retinitis Pigmentosa
26 Jul 2007
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: The autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa (adRP) gene on chromosome 17, region q22 (RP17), was recently identified as a glycosylphosphatidylinositol membrane-anchored zinc metalloenzyme (protein CAIV), highly expressed in the choriocapillaris of the eye and undetectable in the retina. Only two missense mutations have thus far been identified in the gene CA4. Functional analysis of these mutations...
