Abstract excerpt
The gene retinoid isomerohydrolase retinal pigment epithelium 65 (RPE65; OMIM# 180069), is abundantly expressed in the RPE and encodes an isomerohydrolase enzyme that catalyzes an essential step in the visual cycle by converting all-trans retinyl ester to 11-cis retinol. Most pathogenic variants in RPE65 are loss-of-function and have been associated with autosomal recessive inherited retinal diseases (IRD) such...
