Molecular basis of inherited retinal degenerations
Mutations of the REP-l gene are responsible for the X-linked retinal degeneration choroideremia (CHM). Rab Escort Protein-I (REP-I) mediates the post-translational prenyl modification of Rab GTPases. In CHM patients, the related REP-2 partly compensates for the loss-offunction of REP-I, but a subset...
