Recombinant Human X-linked retinitis pigmentosa GTPase regulator-interacting protein 1 (RPGRIP1), partial

1. Gene capture sequencing results found three probands carrying mutations of RPGRIP1, which was known to be associated with pathogenesis of LCA (Leber's congenital amaurosis). By further clinical analysis, two probands were confirmed to be retinitis pigmentosa (RP) patients and one was confirmed to be LCA patient. These novel mutations were co-segregated with the disease phenotype in their families. PMID: 28456785
2. Neurodevelopmental delay and brain atrophy in the CT scan were reported. Genomic sequencing identified a novel homozygous deletion, c.[420delG], in RPGRIP1. This mutation was not detected in 80 ethnically matched controls and has not been reported elsewhere. CONCLUSIONS: Identifying new mutations in Leber congenital amaurosis-related genes and their clinical manifestations can improve our understanding of the disease and. PMID: 27116508
3. RPGRIP1 has an essential role in the photoreceptor connecting cilia, and photoreceptors lacking RPGRIP1 are unable to maintain the light sensing outer segments. [review] PMID: 25414380
4. Although the present patients did not show sufficient clinical findings as Leber congenital amaurosis (LCA), PCR findings and direct sequencing following microarray analysis confirmed that they were LCA. PMID: 25096270
5. Neurodevelopmental delay is a potential feature of strictly defined LCA, documented in our series for some children with homozygous RPGRIP1 and GUCY2D mutations. PMID: 24997176
6. We report a novel RPGRIP1 mutation causing LCA in a consanguineous Emirati family. To the best of our knowledge, this alteration has not been described in the literature so far. PMID: 23278760
7. Recessive RPGRIP1 mutations cause a severe cone-rod Leber congenital amaurosis phenotype, often with poor or no fixation and an oculodigital sign. In the first decade of life retinal changes are clinically most evident in the periphery. PMID: 23505306
8. RPGRIP1 in human and in canine model involves protein network and photoreceptor cilia. PMID: 22183349
9. Nek4 interaction with both RPGRIP1 and the RPGRIP1L is involved in cilium assembly. PMID: 21685204
10. heterozygous non-synonymous variants of RPGRIP1 may cause or increase the susceptibility to various forms of glaucoma PMID: 21224891
11. Studies highlight the recent developments in understanding the mechanism of cilia-dependent photoreceptor degeneration due to mutations in RPGR and PGR-interacting proteins in severe genetic diseases. PMID: 20090203
12. RPGR and RPGRIP isoforms are distributed and co-localized at restricted foci throughout the outer segments of human and bovine, but not mice rod photoreceptors. PMID: 12140192
13. RPGR ORF15 isoform co-localizes with RPGRIP1 at cenrioles and basal bodies and interacts with nucleophosmin. PMID: 15772089
14. RPGRIP1-mediated nucleocytoplasmic crosstalk emerges with implications in the molecular pathogenesis of retinopathies PMID: 15800011
15. AIPL1, CRB1, GUCY2D, RPE65, and RPGRIP1 mutations may have roles in juvenile retinitis pigmentosa PMID: 16272259
16. RPGRIP1 and nephrocystin-4 interact strongly in vitro and in vivo, and that they colocalize in the retina PMID: 16339905
17. The RPGRIP1-Lebers congenital amaurosis patient has treatment potential for a gene replacement strategy if targeted to central, but not pericentral or peripheral, retina. PMID: 17306875
