Phenotype variations of retinal dystrophies caused by mutations in the <scp>RLBP</scp>1 gene
Abstract Purpose Mutations in the RLBP 1 gene encoding the cellular retinaldehyde‐binding protein ( CRALBP ) cause autosomal recessive progressive retinopathy, such as retinitis punctata albescens ( RPA ), Bothnia‐type dystrophy ( BD ), Newfoundland rod‐cone dystrophy ( NFRCD ), retinitis pigmentosa...
