Abstract excerpt
Choroideremia (CHM) is an inherited retinal dystrophy characterised by progressive degeneration of photoreceptors, retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) and underlying choroid. It is caused by loss-of-function mutations in CHM, which has an X-linked inheritance, and is thus an ideal candidate for gene replacement strategies. CHM encodes REP1, which plays a key role in the prenylation of Rab GTPases. We recently showed...
