CLUAP1 variants cause non-syndromic retinitis pigmentosa.

Clinical and molecular features of PRCD-associated retinopathy.

PURPOSE To describe the clinical and genetic characteristics of patients with biallelic disease-causing variants in the PRCD (Progressive Rod-Cone Degeneration) gene. METHODS Multicentre, retrospective cohort study of 19 patients from 13 families across nine reference centres in six countries. Clinical assessments in...

Missense variants in KATNA1 alter microtubule dynamics and underlie dominant macular dystrophy

KATNA1 is established as a novel gene associated with adMD, possibly accounting for ~4% of all unresolved MD cases, and associate defective microtubule severing and cytoskeletal dysregulation with macular degeneration.

The AP5B1 p.Leu785Pro variant is a frequent cause of late-onset macular dystrophy with variable extraocular manifestations

Findings further support AP5B1 as a cause of macular dystrophy, identify p.(Leu785Pro) as a relatively frequent pathogenic allele in individuals of European and Ashkenazi Jewish ancestry, and expand the associated phenotypic spectrum to include both isolated macular dystrophy and possible syndromic presentations.
