Single choroideremia Gene in Nonmammalian Vertebrates Explains Early Embryonic Lethality of the Zebrafish Model of Choroideremia

PURPOSE. Mutations of the CHM gene underlie the X-linked chorioretinal degeneration choroideremia (CHM). The affected gene product, Rab Escort Protein (REP) 1, mediates the post-translational prenyl modification of Rab GTPases. In patients with CHM, the related REP2 partially compensates for the los...
