Journal ArticleDOI
Retinitis pigmentosa and allied diseases: numerous diseases, genes, and inheritance patterns
TL;DR: The retinal cell types involved in these diseases, the large number of genes that cause them, and the variety of inheritance patterns that the affected families display are summarized.
Journal ArticleDOI
The olfactory receptor gene superfamily: data mining, classification, and nomenclature.
TL;DR: Analysis of the first identification of OR sequences from a marsupial and a monotreme suggests that the ancestral mammal had a small OR repertoire, which expanded independently in all three mammalian subclasses.
Journal ArticleDOI
RP2 and RPGR Mutations and Clinical Correlations in Patients with X-Linked Retinitis Pigmentosa
Dror Sharon,Michael A. Sandberg,V. W. Rabe,Melissa A Stillberger,Thaddeus P. Dryja,Eliot L. Berson +5 more
TL;DR: Regression analyses showed that the final dark-adapted threshold became lower and the 30-Hz ERG amplitude increased as the length of the wild-type ORF15 amino acid sequence increased, as the severity of disease increased.
Journal ArticleDOI
Profile of the genes expressed in the human peripheral retina, macula, and retinal pigment epithelium determined through serial analysis of gene expression (SAGE).
TL;DR: Comparison of these libraries with 100 reported nonocular SAGE libraries revealed 89 retina-specific or enriched genes expressed at substantial levels, of which 14 are known to cause a retinal disease and 53 are RPE-specific genes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Shared Mutations in NR2E3 in Enhanced S-cone Syndrome, Goldmann-Favre Syndrome, and Many Cases of Clumped Pigmentary Retinal Degeneration
TL;DR: It is found that ESCS, GFS, and CPRD can all have the same genetic basis and the combination of night blindness, hyperopia, and clumped retinal pigment deposits should raise the suspicion that a patient has NR2E3 disease.
