Lead Time
Basically, we can dispatch the products out in 1-3 working days after receiving your orders. Delivery time maybe differs from different purchasing way or location, please kindly consult your local distributors for specific delivery time.
Involved in the maintenance of both rod and cone photoreceptor cells. It is required for recruitment and proper localization of RPGRIP1 to the photoreceptor connecting cilium (CC), as well as photoreceptor-specific localization of proximal CC proteins at the distal CC. Maintenance of protein localization at the photoreceptor-specific distal CC is essential for normal microtubule stability and to prevent photoreceptor degeneration.

Compound heterozygous c.1100A > G, p.(Y367C) and c.1102_1103delCT, p.(L368Efs*4) variants in SPATA7 manifest as an unusual RP phenotype in this case, showing extensive choroidal sclerosis and retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) atrophy with evidence of progression over two years on multimodal imaging. PMID: 29411205
We present the clinical and genetic findings of two siblings harboring the c.1112T>C/p.I371T homozygous mutation in the SPATA7 gene. PMID: 28481129
The disease resulting from SPATA7 mutations in this patient initially presented as a cone-rod dystrophy (CRD), but changed over time into a phenotype more reminiscent of late-stage retinitis pigmentosa (RP). PMID: 26854980
SPATA7 plays a role in RPGRIP1-mediated protein trafficking across the connecting cilium of photoreceptor cells. Apoptotic degeneration of these cells triggered by protein mislocalization is a mechanism of disease progression in LCA3/juvenile RP patients PMID: 25398945
A novel homozygous large deletion in SPATA7 associated with juvenile retinitis pigmentosa has been found in a consanguineous Israeli Muslim Arab family. PMID: 25814828
Digenic and triallelic mutations of CRB1 and SPATA7 were detected in a Chinese family with Leber congenital amaurosis. The results imply that CRB1 and SPATA7 may not interact with each other directly. PMID: 22219627
In conclusion, our data established the first linkage association of a loss-of-function mutation in the SPATA7 gene with a typical retinitis pigmentosa (RP) phenotype and not with leber congenital amaurosis or early onset RP. PMID: 22136677
Mutations in SPATA7 are a rare cause of childhood retinal dystrophy accounting for 1.7% of disease in this cohort. PMID: 21310915
