Genes

A number sign (#) is used with this entry because of evidence that cone-rod dystrophy-10 (CORD10) can be caused by compound heterozygous mutation in the SEMA4A gene (607292) on chromosome 1q22.

For a general phenotypic description and a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of cone-rod dystrophy, see 120970.

Molecular Genetics

Abid et al. (2006) screened 135 Pakistani patients with retinitis pigmentosa (RP35; 610282), 25 with cone-rod dystrophy, and 30 with congenital blindness for mutations in the SEMA4A gene. They identified compound heterozygosity for 2 substitutions (607292.0001-607292.0002) in 2 RP and 2 CORD patients. None of the mutations were found in 100 ethnically matched controls.
