Abstract excerpt
Pathogenic variants in the RPGR gene are the primary cause of photoreceptor degeneration in X-linked retinitis pigmentosa (RP). Previous studies have linked RPGR dysfunction to defects in ciliary structure and actin turnover. RPGR encodes three major isoforms— RPGR 1–19 , RPGR ORF15 , and the human-specific RPGR s14/15 —yet the function of RPGR s14/15 remains poorly understood. There is an urgent unmet...
