Abstract excerpt
A number of mutations in the rhodopsin gene have been shown to cause both dominant and recessive retinitis pigmentosa. Here we describe another phenotype associated with a defect in this gene. We discovered a patient with congenital stationary night blindness who carries the missense mutation Ala292Glu. When coupled with 11-cis-retinal in vitro, Ala292Glu rhodopsin is able to activate transducin in a...
