Interestingly, the examination of our RNA-Seq dataset examining the expression levels of retinal genes across species with several distinct photoreceptor populations had previously implicated Adipor1 and Reep6 as enriched in the rod photoreceptor clusters by whole-genome network analysis [15] and predicative of a retinitis pigmentosa-like phenotype, as has since been confirmed. Here, REEP6 is linked to retinitis pigmentosa.
