IMPDH1 (P20839) variants and mutations
IMPDH1 (also known as P20839) is a human protein-coding gene encoding an inosine-5'-monophosphate dehydrogenase 1 protein. An enzyme that catalyzes a rate-limiting step in guanine-nucleotide synthesis. Specialized retinal isoforms help regulate nucleotide production in photoreceptors, and pathogenic variants can cause inherited retinal dystrophy. This analysis covers 12 IMPDH1 variants and mutations. Disease context includes retinitis pigmentosa, retinitis pigmentosa 10, and Leber congenital amaurosis. Example IMPDH1 variants include R105W, T116M, and N198K.
