Abstract excerpt
RPE65, an isomerohydrolase expressed in retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), is critical for the visual cycle. More than 115 missense variants of the RPE65 gene have been associated with Leber's congenital amaurosis (LCA), a severe childhood retinal dystrophy. Due to high genetic heterogeneity, the variant-specific pathogenic mechanisms remain largely uncharacterized. In this study we focus on an LCA patient...
