NUB1L also interacts with the aryl hydrocarbon receptor interacting protein-like 1 (AIPL1), whose mutations lead to the inherited blindness Leber congenital amaurosis (LCA) and abolishes its interaction with NUB1L, suggesting that NUB1L could be involved in the pathogenesis of LCA [7]. The gene discussed is NUB1; the disease is Leber congenital amaurosis.
