Abstract excerpt
Retinal dystrophies are a complex set of hereditary diseases of the retina that result in the degeneration of photoreceptors. Recent studies have shown that mutations in RPE65, a gene that codes for a retinal pigment epithelium (RPE)-specific protein thought to be involved in the 11-cis-retinoid metabolism, a key process in vision, cause severe, early onset retinal dystrophy. We describe two novel missense RPE65...
