A frameshift mutation in prominin (mouse)-like 1 causes human retinal degeneration.
The disks of vertebrate photoreceptors are produced by outgrowths of the plasma membrane. Hence genes that encode retinal proteins targeted to plasma membrane protrusions represent candidates for inherited retinal degenerations. One such candidate is the gene encoding human prominin (mouse)-like 1 (PROML1, previously known as AC133 antigen) which belongs to the prominin family of 5-transmembran...
متن کاملTubby-like protein 1 homozygous splice-site mutation causes early-onset severe retinal degeneration.
PURPOSE To characterize the disease expression of an autosomal recessive human retinal degeneration associated with a mutation in TULP1 (tubby-like protein 1), a gene with currently unknown function. METHODS Homozygotes and heterozygotes from an extended Dominican kindred with a TULP1 splice-site gene mutation (IVS14+1,G-->A) were studied clinically and with visual function tests. Sequence an...
متن کاملCcdc66 null mutation causes retinal degeneration and dysfunction.
Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is a group of human retinal disorders, with more than 100 genes involved in retinal degeneration. Canine and murine models are useful for investigating human RP based on known, naturally occurring mutations. In Schapendoes dogs, for example, a mutation in the CCDC66 gene has been shown to cause autosomal recessively inherited, generalized progressive retinal atrophy (g...
متن کاملLoss of the cholesterol-binding protein prominin-1/CD133 causes disk dysmorphogenesis and photoreceptor degeneration.
Prominin-1/CD133 (Prom-1) is a commonly used marker of neuronal, vascular, hematopoietic and other stem cells, yet little is known about its biological role and importance in vivo. Here, we show that loss of Prom-1 results in progressive degeneration of mature photoreceptors with complete loss of vision. Despite the expression of Prom-1 on endothelial progenitors, photoreceptor degeneration was...
متن کاملA point mutation in Semaphorin 4A associates with defective endosomal sorting and causes retinal degeneration
Semaphorin 4A (Sema4A) has an essential role in photoreceptor survival. In humans, mutations in Sema4A are thought to contribute to retinal degenerative diseases. Here we generate a series of knock-in mouse lines with corresponding mutations (D345H, F350C or R713Q) in the Sema4A gene and find that Sema4A(F350C) causes retinal degeneration phenotypes. The F350C mutation results in abnormal local...
