Gene: [01p31/RPE65] retinal pigment epithelium-specific protein (65kD); retinitis pigmentosa 20 (autosomal recessive); amaurosis congenita of Leber II (LCA2; congenital retinal blindness; MIM:204100); [LCA2 ]
MUT |
Gu-1997 and Marlhens-1997 revealed mutations in RPE65 gene that cause autosomal recessive childhood-onset severe retinal dystrophy (amaurosis congenita of Leber, type II). Amaurosis congenita of Leber type I is caused by mutations in the gene for retinal guanylate cyclase 2D (GEM:17p13/GUCY2D)." |
