Novel p.M96T variant of NRL and shRNA-based suppression and replacement of NRL mutants associated with autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa.

Abstract excerpt

Mutations in the gene encoding the transcription factor neural retina leucine zipper (NRL) are known to cause autosomal dominant (adRP) or recessive (arRP) retinitis pigmentosa (RP). In an adRP Spanish family, we detected a novel sequence variation (c.287T>C) in the NRL gene that results in the p.M96T protein change. A functional test of the ability of NRL, in conjunction with cone-rod homeobox (CRX), to...
