Novel OPN1LW/OPN1MW deletion mutations in 2 Japanese families with blue cone monochromacy

Blue cone monochromacy (BCM) is caused by the lack of expression of the normal proteins encoded by the OPN1LW and OPN1MW genes, resulting in the absence of red and green cone sensitivities. We analyzed two cases of BCM in two different families and identified deletion mutations in the locus control...

Descripción
Sumario:Blue cone monochromacy (BCM) is caused by the lack of expression of the normal proteins encoded by the OPN1LW and OPN1MW genes, resulting in the absence of red and green cone sensitivities. We analyzed two cases of BCM in two different families and identified deletion mutations in the locus control region upstream of the two genes. Deletion breakpoints were determined to an accuracy of one base for both cases.
