Abstract excerpt
Photoreceptors rely on microtubule (MT)-based transport within the connecting cilium to maintain cellular homeostasis. Mutations in RP1L1, a retina-specific doublecortin (DC) domain protein, cause inherited retinal disorders including occult macular dystrophy (OMD), yet the underlying mechanisms remain poorly defined. Here, we show that the RP1L1 R45W variant, prevalent in East Asian individuals with OMD, confers...
