Added comment: 2 unrelated Chinese families reported with rare homozygous variants (one missense, one nonsense) and Leber congenital amaurosis. Animal knockout functional studies supported gene-disease association.

PMID: 30573563 "By analysing WES data based on allele frequencies of in-house controls, population allele frequencies and in silico prediction tools, two rare homozygous mutations in USP45 were identified in two unrelated families. Immunohistochemistry of USP45 in the human and zebrafish retinal sections revealed enriched expression in the inner segments of photoreceptors. The knockdown of usp45 transcript in zebrafish led to abnormal retinal development with effects on photoreceptors, which could be successfully rescued by wild-type usp45 mRNA. Moreover, targeted knockout of Usp45 in mice caused abnormal electroretinography responses, similar to that seen in patients with LCA."
