Disease relevance of RLBP1

 

High impact information on RLBP1

  • In the current study, molecular genetic analysis of a consanguineous pedigree segregating for non-syndromic autosomal recessive retinitis pigmentosa (arRP) indicated that the affected siblings were homozygous by descent for a G4763A nucleotide substitution in RLBP1, the gene encoding cellular retinaldehyde-binding protein (CRALBP) [5].
  • CRALBP is not expressed in photoreceptors but is abundant in the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) and Müller cells of the neuroretina, where it carries 11-cis-retinol and 11-cis-retinaldehyde [5].
  • These findings suggest that arRP in the current pedigree results from a lack of functional CRALBP, presumably leading to disruption of retinal vitamin-A metabolism [5].
  • To test this hypothesis, we sequenced all coding exons and splice junctions of RLBP1 [1].
  • We detected significant linkage to markers on the long arm of chromosome 15, in a region encompassing RLBP1, the gene encoding the cellular retinaldehyde-binding protein [1].
