High impact information on Blindness

  • Mutations in Rpe65 disrupt synthesis of the opsin chromophore ligand 11-cis-retinal and cause Leber congenital amaurosis (LCA), a severe, early-onset retinal dystrophy [7].
  • Spontaneous activity of opsin apoprotein is a cause of Leber congenital amaurosis [7].
  • Mutations in RPE65 cause Leber's congenital amaurosis [8].
  • Leber's congenital amaurosis (LCA, MIM 204,000), the earliest and most severe form of inherited retinopathy, accounts for at least 5% of all inherited retinal dystrophies [9].
  • Retinal-specific guanylate cyclase gene mutations in Leber's congenital amaurosis [9].
