Recombinant Human Peripherin-2 (PRPH2)

1. Novel C165R mutation of retinal degeneration slow/peripherin gene in family affected by different patterns of retinal dystrophy. PMID: 17851265
2. Multiple genes contributing to the retinal dystrophy genotypes within a family were discovered using retinal gene-targeted next-generation sequencing. Families with noted examples of phenotypic variation or apparent non-penetrant individuals may offer a clue to suspect complex inheritance. PMID: 28761320
3. These results suggest that genetic variants in PRPH2 do not compose a major genetic risk factor for adult-onset foveomacular vitelliform dystrophy (AFVD). The Israeli population shows a higher percentage of minor allele frequencies in SNPs in the PRPH2 gene, as compared with other populations. PMID: 26849151
4. ablation of Rom1 results in the conversion of an MD/PD phenotype characterized by cone functional defects and the formation of abnormal Prph2/Rom1 complexes to an RP phenotype characterized by rod-dominant functional defects and reductions in total Prph2 protein. Thus one method by which ROM1 may act as a disease modifier is by contributing to the large variability in PRPH2-associated disease phenotype PMID: 28053051
5. These results support the idea that mutations may differentially affect Prph2's role as a structural component, and its role as a functional protein key for organizing membrane domains for cellular signalling. These roles may be different in rods and cones, thus contributing to the phenotypic heterogeneity that characterizes diseases associated with Prph2 mutations. PMID: 27365499
6. there are phenotypic variabilities of late-onset or nonpenetrance in individuals who carried the R172W mutation of the PRPH2 gene. The phenotypes ranged from severe cone-rod dystrophy to asymptomatic individuals with normal retinal function PMID: 27977834
7. This review reveled that The PRPH2/RDS protein is a critical component for normal vision through its role as a structural protein important for the proper formation of both rod and cone photoreceptor cells. PMID: 26773759
8. Of the 225 genetic tests performed, 150 were for recessive IRD, and 75 were for dominant IRD. A positive molecular diagnosis was made in 70 (59%) of probands with recessive IRD and 19 (26%) probands with dominant IRD. Thirty-two novel variants were identified; among these, 17 sequence changes in four genes were predicted to be possibly or probably damaging including: ABCA4 (14), BEST1 (2), PRPH2 (1), and TIMP3 PMID: 28005406
9. In the control group, four different genetic variations were detected in ELOVL4, and five in PRPH2. STGD patients of different ethnicities may carry distinct ELOVL4 and PRPH2 sequence variants. We believe that the genetic variations identified in this study may be related to STGD etiopathogenesis. PMID: 27813578

12. Our data suggest that upregulation of PRPH2 levels in combination with defects in the PRPH2 function caused by the mutation might be an important mechanism leading to cone degeneration PMID: 26796962
13. Studies indicate that mutations in the photoreceptor specific gene retina degeneration slow (RDS; peripherin-2) lead to a variety of retinal degenerative diseases. PMID: 26427414
14. reason for high qAF among many PRPH2/RDS-positive patients is not known; higher RPE lipofuscin accumulation may be a primary or secondary effect of the PRPH2/RDS mutation PMID: 26024099
15. The PRPH2 c.828+3A>T splice site mutation is a frequent cause of inherited retinal dystrophies and is owing to the founder effect. PMID: 25675413
16. The mutations in PRPH2 account for 10.3% of adRP in the French population, which is higher than previously reported (0%-8%) This makes PRPH2 the second most frequent adRP gene after RHO in our series. PMID: 25447119

20. This is the first report of marked intrafamilial variation of pattern dystrophy because of peripherin/RDS Y141C mutation. Intravitreal ranibizumab injections might be a valuable treatment for associated subfoveal choroidal neovascularization. PMID: 22466463

22. Molecular screening of the candidate genes BEST1 and PRPH2 revealed no mutations. PMID: 22174098
23. PRPH2 screening should be recommended to patients with an age of onset more than 40 years. For an onset between 30 and 40 years, PRPH2 can be screened if no mutation has been detected in BEST1. PMID: 21269699
24. Four mutations of the PRPH2 gene were found in 3 sporadic cases and 3 families (n = 11). A p.R46X mutation, previously described in CACD, was found in 3 members of a family with AOFVD and in a sporadic case with DMD. PMID: 20213611
25. peripherin/RDS mutations produced diffuse AF abnormalities, disruption of the photoreceptor/RPE junction, and increased cone spacing, consistent with cone loss in the macula. PMID: 21071739
