Compound heterozygous KCNV2 variants contribute to cone dystrophy with supernormal rod responses in a Chinese family
Abstract Background Cone dystrophy with supernormal rod response (CDSRR) is an autosomal recessive retinal disorder characterized by myopia, dyschromatopsia, nyctalopia, photophobia, and nystagmus. CDSRR is caused by mutations in KCNV2, the gene encoding for an electrically silent Kv subunit (Kvs) n...

CDSRR is caused by mutations in KCNV2, the gene encoding for an electrically silent Kv subunit (Kvs) named Kv8.2. Methods A Chinese CDSRR family was recruited.

Expression analysis in vitro including immunoblotting, quantitative real‐time PCR (qRT‐PCR), and co‐immunoprecipitation experiments was performed to investigate the pathogenic mechanism of the identified gene variants.
