Abstract
Retinitis pigmentosa GTPase regulator (RPGR) gene variants are the predominant cause of X-linked retinitis pigmentosa (XLRP) and a common cause of cone-rod dystrophy (CORD). XLRP presents as early as the first decade of life, with impaired night vision and constriction of peripheral visual field and rapid progression, eventually leading to blindness. In this review, we present RPGR gene structure and function, molecular genetics, animal models, RPGR-associated phenotypes and highlight emerging potential treatments such as gene-replacement therapy.This publication has 69 references indexed in Scilit:
