Whole-Exome Sequencing Identifies Mutations in GPR179 Leading to Autosomal-Recessive Complete Congenital Stationary Night Blindness

(The American Journal of Human Genetics 90, 321–330; February 10, 2012)

In the original version of this report, which describes GPR179 mutations in patients with complete congenital stationary night blindness, we applied an antibody against human GPR179 to mouse retinal sections and concluded that GPR179 was localized to horizontal cells and Müller cell endfeet (Figure 4). We have since discovered that this use of the antibody does not result in specific labeling. Our recent results support the conclusion of the parallel study of Peachey et al.,¹ which concluded that GPR179 is expressed in retinal bipolar cells.
