A novel homozygous truncatingGNAT1mutation implicated in retinal degeneration
15 Oct 2015
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The GNAT1 gene encodes the α subunit of the rod transducin protein, a key element in the rod phototransduction cascade. Variants in GNAT1 have been implicated in stationary night-blindness in the past, but unlike other proteins in the same pathway, it has not previously been implicated in retinitis pigmentosa. METHODS: A panel of 182 retinopathy-associated genes was sequenced to locate disease-causing...
