Retinal dystrophy associated with Danon disease and pathogenic mechanism through LAMP2-mutated retinal pigment epithelium

Abstract excerpt

Introduction: Lysosome-associated membrane protein 2 plays an important role in autophagy and lysosomal function and its mutation is responsible for pathogenesis of Danon disease, which can cause retinopathy, though its pathophysiological contribution to retinal dysfunction remains unclear. The purpose of our research is to report the first case of Japanese Danon disease retinopathy and to understand how LAMP2...
