Abstract excerpt
Pathogenic variants in the Retinitis pigmentosa GTPase regulator (RPGR) gene lead to a clinically severe form of X-linked retinal dystrophy. However, it remains unclear why some variants cause a predominant rod, while others result in a cone-dominated phenotype. Post-translational glutamylation of the photoreceptor-specific RPGRORF15 isoform by the TTLL5 enzyme is essential for its optimal function in...
