Preclinical evidence/animal models: CNGB3m/m canine model, misssense mutation in exon 6; cpfl5 mouse, naturally occurring missense mutation in Cnga3; P347S–RHO mouse, missense mutation in RHO and a model of RHO-adRP; Chmnull/WT mouse, female heterozygous-null carriers with the choroideremia phenotype; Gucy2e, guanylate cyclase 2E, membrane (retina-specific), the mouse homolog of GUCY2D or RetGC1, Gucy2f, guanylate cyclase 2F, membrane (retina-specific), the mouse homolog of GUCY2F or RetGC2; Gucy2e/Gucy2f dKO mice are missing both RetGC1 and RetGC2. Rd16 mice, naturally occurring deletion of exons 35–39 of Cep290; Nrl/- mice, mouse lacking the neural retina leucine zipper gene involved in rod photoreceptor differentiation leading to an all-cone phenotype; rdAC, retinal degeneration Abyssinian cat with truncation mutation in CEP290; XLPRA1, X-linked progressive retinal atrophy-1, canine with ORF15 microdeletion (del 1028–1032) in RPGR; XLPRA2, X-linked progressive retinal atrophy-2, canine with ORF15 microdeletion (del 1084–1085) in RPGR; rd10, retinal degeneration 10 mouse with missense point mutation in Pde6b.
