Abstract excerpt
We previously identified a homozygous G178R mutation in human ASRGL1 (hASRGL1) through whole-exome analysis responsible for early onset retinal degeneration (RD) in patients with cone-rod dystrophy. The mutant G178R ASRGL1 expressed in Cos-7 cells showed altered localization, while the mutant ASRGL1 in E. coli lacked the autocatalytic activity needed to generate the active protein. To evaluate the effect of...
