Pre-mRNA Processing Factors and Retinitis Pigmentosa: RNA Splicing and Beyond
28 Jul 2021
Abstract excerpt
Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is the most common inherited retinal disease characterized by progressive degeneration of photoreceptors and/or retinal pigment epithelium that eventually results in blindness. Mutations in pre-mRNA processing factors ( PRPF3, 4, 6, 8, 31, SNRNP200, and RP9 ) have been linked to 15–20% of autosomal dominant RP (adRP) cases. Current evidence indicates that PRPF mutations cause retinal...
