Abstract excerpt
A C203R mutation in M-opsin is a cause of blue cone monochromacy (BCM) in human patients. The equivalent mutation in murine M-opsin is C198R since human M-opsin has an extra 5 amino acid residues in the amino terminal region that are not present in murine M-opsin. The mechanism by which the C203R/C198R mutation causes BCM is unclear, and the function and dysfunction of cone opsins in general are understudied...
