Abstract excerpt
Purpose: RPE65 is a key enzyme in the visual cycle that regenerates 11-cis-retinal. Mutations in RPE65 cause a retinal dystrophy that is treatable with an approved gene therapy. Variants of unknown significance (VUS) on genetic testing can prevent patients from obtaining a firm genetic diagnosis and accessing gene therapy. Because most RPE65 mutations have a low protein expression level, this study developed and...
