Mutation in a short-chain collagen gene, CTRP5, results in extracellular deposit formation in late-onset retinal degeneration - a genetic model for age-related macular degeneration

TL;DR: It is shown that L-ORD is genetically heterogeneous and that a proposed founder mutation in the CTRP5 (C1QTNF5) gene, which encodes a novel short-chain collagen, changes a highly conserved serine to arginine (Ser163Arg) in 7/14 L-ord families and 0/1000 control individuals.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identification of a rare coding variant in complement 3 associated with age-related macular degeneration

Xiaowei Zhan, +65 more
- 01 Nov 2013 - 
TL;DR: Two large-effect rare coding variants associated with a large increase in risk of age-related macular degeneration suggest decreased inhibition of C3 by complement factor H, resulting in increased activation of the alternative complement pathway, as a key component of disease biology.
Journal ArticleDOI

Transformation of cone precursors to functional rod photoreceptors by bZIP transcription factor NRL

TL;DR: It is established that NRL is not only essential but is sufficient for rod differentiation and that postmitotic photoreceptor precursors are competent to make binary decisions during early retinogenesis.
Journal ArticleDOI

RPGR-ORF15, which is mutated in retinitis pigmentosa, associates with SMC1, SMC3, and microtubule transport proteins.

TL;DR: Novel evidence is provided for the possible involvement of RPGR-ORF15 in microtubule organization and regulation of transport in primary cilia in retinitis pigmentosa through interaction with SMC1 and SMC3.
