Recombinant Human Tubby-related protein 1 (TULP1)

1. Pathogenic mutations in TULP1 are responsible for the retinitis pigmentosa phenotype in seven familial cases with a common ancestral mutation responsible for the disease phenotype in four of the seven families. PMID: 27440997
2. photoreceptor degeneration caused by missense mutations via endoplasmic reticulum unfolded protein response PMID: 26987071
3. This study highlights the value of the broad sequencing strategy of exome sequencing for disease gene identification in Leber congenital amaurosis, over other existing methods. PMID: 24547928
4. Data suggest that mutant tubby like protein 1 (TULP1) proteins are misfolded and accumulate within the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) leading to induction of the unfolded protein response (UPR) stress response complex. PMID: 26427415
5. The TULP1 allele p.Gln301* represents a founder mutation on the Arabian Peninsula and is associated with a recognisable congenital recessive rod-cone dystrophy phenotype in the homozygous state. PMID: 25342276
6. Retinal degeneration with TULP1 mutations leads to a small central island of residual foveal cones at early ages which are less sensitive than expected from the residual structure. PMID: 25074776
7. Maternal uniparental isodisomy of chromosome 6 unmasked a mutation in the TULP1 gene as a novel cause of cone dysfunction. PMID: 23499059
8. The single nucleotide polymorphisms rs4374383 and rs9380516 were linked to the functionally related genes MERTK and TULP1, which encode factors involved in phagocytosis of apoptotic cells by macrophages. PMID: 22841784
9. One recurrent (c.1138A>G; p.Thr380Ala) and one novel (c.1445G>A; p.Arg482Gln) mutations in TULP1 have been identified in Pakistani families with early-onset retinitis pigmentosa. PMID: 22665969
10. Homozygous autosomal recessive retinitis pigmentosa-causing mutations have been found in three Indian families. These included a missense mutation in TULP1. PMID: 22605927
11. Pathogenic mutations in TULP1 are responsible for the autosomal recessive retinitis pigmentosa phenotype in these consanguineous Pakistani families, with a single ancestral mutation in TULP1 causing the disease phenotype in 4 of 5 families. PMID: 21987678
12. The affected members of the Surinamese family have a severe early-onset form of autosomal recessive retinitis pigmentosa, which is caused by compound heterozygous mutations in the TULP1 gene. PMID: 17620573
13. Mutation in the TULP1 gene is a rare cause of LCA/EORD (Leber congenital amaurosis or early-onset retinal degeneration. PMID: 17962469
14. A novel splice-site mutation of TULP1, c.1495+2_1495+3insT, underlying autosomal recessive early-onset RP in a consanguineous Israeli Muslim Arab family. PMID: 18432314
