Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the PRPH2 gene encoding the photoreceptor-specific protein PRPH2 (also known as peripherin-2 or rds) cause a broad range of autosomal dominant retinal diseases. Most of these mutations affect the structure of the light-sensitive photoreceptor outer segment, which is composed of a stack of flattened "disc" membranes surrounded by the plasma membrane. The outer segment is renewed on a daily basis in a...
