Retinal disorders
Gene: TIMP3
This gene is on the Manchester Genetic Retinal Degeneration Conditions panel (covers known genes for isolated progessive retinal degeneration, Leber congenital amaurosis, macular dystrophy, achromatopsia, congenital stationary night blindness as well as the two most common causes of syndromic blindess Usher and Bardet-Biedl syndromes and additional syndromes including Joubert, Senior-Loken, and Cohen syndrome.Created: 2 Jun 2016, 8:05 a.m.
Review by Andrew Webster (Moorfields Eye Hospital) from the Inherited macular dystrophy panel: "Heterozygosity for a finite set of missense alleles cause a dominant disorder. The pathogenesis is thought to involve polymerisation of the encoded protein by interfering with the number of cysteine amino acids in the residue. Most mutations are in exon 5 of the gene."
