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.

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
