1. Molecular genetics characterization and homology modeling of the CHM gene mutation: A study on its association with choroideremia. PMID: 29555028
2. our results suggest that c.280delA (p.Thr94LeufsTer32) in CHM was a pathogenic mutation in the present choroideremia family as determined by captured exome sequencing. PMID: 29620233
3. REP1 plays a crucial role in regulating mTOR signaling and its downstream pathways, as well as autophagy and macropinocytosis. PMID: 28846638

9. we demonstrated that REP1 blocked the nuclear trans-localization of FOXO3 through physically interacting with FOXO3, thereby suppressing FOXO3-mediated apoptosis. Importantly, the inhibition of REP1 combined with 5-FU treatment could lead to significant retarded tumor growth in a xenograft tumor model of human cancer cells PMID: 28055019
10. Our results showed CNV within the Rep-1 gene could be an important contributor in Chinese Choroideremia patients. PMID: 28774736
11. In Choroideremia(Y42X/y) fibroblasts, there was a recovery of prenylation activity following treatment with either PTC124 (42 +/- 5%) or PTC-414 (36 +/- 11%), although an increase in REP1 protein was not detected in these cells, in contrast to the zebrafish model. PMID: 27329764
12. We describe the causative mutations in a large cohort of patients who also were examined clinically and explore potential genotype-phenotype correlations. By so doing, we further aimed to make inferences regarding the importance of particular regions of the CHM gene with respect to mutagenesis and to infer the importance of particular regions of the REP1 protein essential for normal function. PMID: 27820636
13. Six previously reported and five novel CHM mutations were detected in 11 Australian families clinically diagnosed with choroideremia. PMID: 25912515

19. Data found pathogenic DNA variants in the genes RP1, USH2A, CNGB3, NMNAT1, CHM, and ABCA4, responsible for retinitis pigmentosa, Usher syndrome, achromatopsia, Leber congenital amaurosis, choroideremia, or recessive Stargardt/cone-rod dystrophy cases. PMID: 23940504
20. These findings demonstrate a novel CHM mutation that emphasizes severe posterior pole carrier phenotypes, age-related changes, and early choroideremia disease. PMID: 22965595
21. In Mainland Chinese families, the central visual acuity of male patients with CHM can be affected at an early age (second decade), whereas female CHM carriers may manifest signs and symptoms at a later age (>/= 45 years). PMID: 22355242
22. We identified a novel REP1 missense variant (c.1520A>G; p.H507R) associated with CHM that prevents REP1-Rab geranylgeranyl transferase interaction. PMID: 21905166
23. A novel mutation was detected in CHM gene in family 1. Another mutation within exon 14 of CHM was identified in family 2. The mutations caused night blindness, chorioretinal atrophy, and bareness of the sclera. PMID: 22025891
