    1. We performed a trial of retinal gene augmentation in the Pde6a mutant dog using Pde6a delivery by capsid-mutant adeno-associated virus serotype 8, previously shown to have a rapid onset of transgene expression in the canine retina. Subretinal injections were performed in 10 dogs at 29–44 days of age, and electroretinography and vision testing were performed to assess functional outcome. Retinal structure was assessed using color fundus photography, spectral domain optical coherence tomography, and histology. Immunohistochemistry was performed to examine transgene expression and expression of other retinal genes. Treatment resulted in improvement in dim light vision and evidence of rod function on electroretinographic examination. Photoreceptor layer thickness in the treated area was preserved compared with the contralateral control vector treated or uninjected eye. Improved rod and cone photoreceptor survival, rhodopsin localization, cyclic GMP levels and bipolar cell dendrite distribution was observed in treated areas. Some adverse effects including foci of retinal separation, foci of retinal degeneration and rosette formation were identified in both AAV-Pde6a and control vector injected regions.

      ExperimentName: Rescue of Pde6a-mutant Cardigan Welsh Corgi dogs with canine Pde6a

      RescueModel: Canis lupus familiaris

      GeneAlteration: The model harbors a homozygous 1-bp deletion variant at codon 616 that results in a frameshift and a premature stop codon (previously reported in PMID: 10393029 and PMID: 18775863).

      RescueVariant: Rescue was performed with wild-type canine Pde6a delivered by AAV8 and expressed under the CMV-chicken beta-actin promoter, in comparison to a GFP control.

      RescuePhenotype: HP:0030474 (Undetectable dark-adapted electroretinogram), HP:0000505 (Visual impairment), HP:0007843 (Attenuation of retinal blood vessels), HP:0030610 (Photoreceptor outer segment loss on macular OCT)

      RescueMethod: Rescue was performed by subretinal injection of AAV8 particles delivering wild-type canine Pde6a or GFP cDNA (Figures 4, 5, and 6).

      RescueEvidence: Rod ERG response shows improvement from undetectable to detectable following AAV-Pde6a injection (Fig. 1). Visual impairment also improved according to visual navigation ability (Fig. 2). Attenuation of retinal blood vessels was prevented as well (Fig. 3). Photoreceptor outer nuclear layer thickness was preserved (Fig. 4). Finally, treatment promoted rod photoreceptor survival (Fig. 5).

      ModelVariant: The model does not harbor a variant equivalent to one from the human patients, but rather has a naturally occurring frameshift variant disrupting Pde6a leading to full loss-of-function.

    1. Autosomal recessive retinitis pigmentosa caused by mutations in the alpha subunit of rod cGMP phosphodiesterase

      PMID: 7493036

      Gene: PDE6A

      HGNC: 8785

      Disease: retinitis pigmentosa 43

      MONDO: MONDO:0013437

      InheritancePattern: autosomal recessive

      Prevalence: The overall prevalence of retinitis pigmentosa is between 1 in 3,000 and 1 in 4,000 individuals, while the proportion of retinitis pigmentosa with a recessive mode of inheritance is estimated to be 65-85% (between 1 in 3,500 and 1 in 6,200). Retinitis pigmentosa 43 is considered to be make up 2-5% of these cases, with an overall prevalence estimated between 1 in 70,000 and 1 in 310,000.

      Penetrance: Known disease-causing alleles appear to be completely penetrant.
