| Primary Identifier | MGI:1932134 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
| Chromosome | 14 | NCBI Gene Number | 77945 |
| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Acts upstream of or within eye development; neural precursor cell proliferation; and visual perception. Located in axoneme and photoreceptor distal connecting cilium. Is expressed in brain; cerebral cortex; photoreceptor layer outer segment; retina outer nuclear layer; and telencephalon ventricular layer. Used to study Leber congenital amaurosis 6. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Leber congenital amaurosis 6; Leber hereditary optic neuropathy; cone-rod dystrophy 13; and retinitis pigmentosa. Orthologous to human RPGRIP1 (RPGR interacting protein 1). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous mutation of this gene results in photoreceptor cell dysmorphology. By 3 months of age mutant animals show near complete loss of photoreceptor cells. [provided by MGI curators] |
