Phenotypic expansion of autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa associated with the D477G mutation in RPE65.

Abstract excerpt

Mutations in the gene RPE65 (OMIM: 180069) are recessively inherited and known to cause Leber congenital amaurosis. Recently, the mutation D477G in RPE65 has been identified as a cause of autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa (RP). Variable expressivity of this disease has been reported, as carrier individuals can present with mild, nonpenetrant, or, most commonly, a severe chorioretinal phenotype that...
