RGR-Mediated Photopic Visual Cycle and Oxidative Stress: Potential Mechanisms for Cone Vision Impairment and Retinal Degeneration in Retinitis Pigmentosa Linked to D1080N-IRBP.

Abstract excerpt

Interphotoreceptor retinoid-binding protein (IRBP), an extracellular glycoprotein, supports cone-mediated vision through unclear molecular mechanisms. Over 30 different mutations in the IRBP gene have been found in patients with retinitis pigmentosa (RP), childhood-onset retinal dystrophy with high myopia, and cone-rod dystrophy, yet their pathogenicity and underlying pathogenic mechanisms have not been studied...
