Abstract excerpt
Retinitis pigmentosa is a retinal degenerative disease that leads to blindness through photoreceptor loss. Rhodopsin is the most frequently mutated protein in this disease. While many rhodopsin mutations have well-understood consequences that lead to cell death, the disease association of several rhodopsin mutations identified in retinitis pigmentosa patients, including F220C and F45L, has been disputed. In this...
