An autosomal dominant form of the disease arises from deletions or poinf mufations in the rhodopsin gene. In the United States 15% of cases arise from the mutation P23H. By 1996 70 point mutations that cause retinitis pigmentosa had been discovered These mutations are foimd in all three...

The RAF receptor is a MW 48 kD, G-protein-coupled single 342 amino acid protein that shows structural characteristics of the rhodopsin gene family. The human, guinea pig, and rat receptors have been cloned and characterized as a seven-transmembrane receptor that induces phos-phoinositol turnover. The receptor shows wide tissue distribution being expressed in lung, kidney, liver, spleen, small intestine, and brain. In leukocytes, it is expressed on platelets, neutrophils, monocytes, and B cells but not on resting T cells and natural killer cell lines. Human monocytes treated with IFN-y show a two- to sixfold increase in RAF receptor expression compared to untreated cells.
