Next-generation sequencing applied to a large French cone and cone-rod dystrophy cohort: mutation spectrum and new genotype-phenotype correlation
PMID: 26103963
Gene: PROM1
HGNC: 9454
Disease: retinitis pigmentosa 41
MONDO: 0012796
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). The proportion of that incidence made up by the specific form caused by biallelic variants in PROM1 is not clear.
Penetrance: Known disease-causing alleles appear to be completely penetrant in the homozygous state, and for at least some heterozygous variants associated with other disease entities.
