Abstract excerpt
Retinol dehydrogenases (RDHs) catalyze multiple steps in the visual cycle to regenerate 11-cis-retinal, a critical component in rod phototransduction. The structural homology between RDHs enables functional redundancy; yet Mendelian disorders are linked to RDHs. Variants in RDH12 and RDH5 cause non-syndromic inherited retinal dystrophy (IRD), whilst variants in RDH11 cause syndromic IRD. RDH11 is a minor...
