Abstract excerpt
The retina pigmented epithelium 65 kDa protein (RPE65) is an essential enzyme in the visual cycle that regenerates the 11-cis-retinal chromophore obligatory for vision. Mutations in RPE65 are associated with blinding diseases. D477G (C.1430G > A) is the only known RPE65 variant to cause autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa (adRP). Previously, we reported that the heterozygous D477G knock-in (WT/KI) mice...
