Targeted gene/syndrome under study

CEP76 / Joubert syndrome (ORPHA:475) or rod-cone dystrophy/retinitis pigmentosa (ORPHA:791)

Abstract

Dear Colleagues,
We have identified bi-allelic variants of the CEP76 gene in patients with retinitis pigmentosa and/or Joubert syndrome (or equivalent). This could be a new autosomal recessive syndrome.
We would like to expand the cohort of patients with CEP76 variants in order to delineate the phenotype of this rare disease.
