Molecular Characterization of Choroideremia-Associated Deletions Reveals an Unexpected Regulation of <i>CHM</i> Gene Transcription

Molecular Characterization of Choroideremia-Associated Deletions Reveals an Unexpected Regulation of <i>CHM</i> Gene Transcription

Choroideremia (CHM) is a X-linked recessive chorioretinal dystrophy due to deficiency of the <i>CHM</i> gene product, i.e., Rab escort protein isoform 1 (REP1). To date, gene therapy for CHM has shown variable effectiveness, likely because the underlying pathogenic mechanisms as well as...
