When examining the nine overlapping genes known to cause both LCA and RP (Crb1, Cr, Ift140, Impdh1, Lrat, Prph2, Rdh12, Rpe65, Rs1, Spata7, Tulp1), we found enrichment in the retinoid cycle in rods as the predominantly overrepresented pathway (Table 4), similar to what was found when examining all 22 genes known to cause LCA. The gene discussed is SPATA7; the disease is Leber congenital amaurosis.
