Novel C165R mutation of retinal degeneration slow/peripherin gene in family affected by different patterns of retinal dystrophy. PMID: 17851265
Multiple genes contributing to the retinal dystrophy genotypes within a family were discovered using retinal gene-targeted next-generation sequencing. Families with noted examples of phenotypic variation or apparent non-penetrant individuals may offer a clue to suspect complex inheritance. PMID: 28761320
These results suggest that genetic variants in PRPH2 do not compose a major genetic risk factor for adult-onset foveomacular vitelliform dystrophy (AFVD). The Israeli population shows a higher percentage of minor allele frequencies in SNPs in the PRPH2 gene, as compared with other populations. PMID: 26849151
ablation of Rom1 results in the conversion of an MD/PD phenotype characterized by cone functional defects and the formation of abnormal Prph2/Rom1 complexes to an RP phenotype characterized by rod-dominant functional defects and reductions in total Prph2 protein. Thus one method by which ROM1 may act as a disease modifier is by contributing to the large variability in PRPH2-associated disease phenotype PMID: 28053051
These results support the idea that mutations may differentially affect Prph2's role as a structural component, and its role as a functional protein key for organizing membrane domains for cellular signalling. These roles may be different in rods and cones, thus contributing to the phenotypic heterogeneity that characterizes diseases associated with Prph2 mutations. PMID: 27365499

Of the 225 genetic tests performed, 150 were for recessive IRD, and 75 were for dominant IRD. A positive molecular diagnosis was made in 70 (59%) of probands with recessive IRD and 19 (26%) probands with dominant IRD.
