Abstract excerpt
Dehydrodolichyl diphosphate synthase complex subunit (DHDDS) is required for protein glycosylation in eukaryotes, and variants. Surprisingly, three variant alleles (K42E/K42E, T206A/K42E and R98W/K42E) have been reported to cause retinitis pigmentosa 59 (RP59). Because T206A only has been reported to occur heterozygously with K42E, we generated homozygous and hererozygous mutants - i.e. T206A/T206A and...
