Retinitis pigmentosa is the most common hereditary retinal dystrophy which has marked clinical and genetic heterogeneity. Common presentations among this disorder include night blindness, tunnel vision, and subsequent progression to complete blindness respectively. The known causative disease genes have a variety of developmental and functional roles, with mutations in more than 120 genes shown to be responsible for the phenotypes. In addition, mutations within the same gene have been shown to cause different disease phenotypes, even within the same family, highlighting further levels of complexity. In recent years significant advancements have been made in the understanding of the pathogenesis of the disease and stem cell and gene replacement treatments have been proposed as potentially efficacious therapies. This review summarizes the clinical development of retinal stem cell and gene therapy.

Изучение спектра мутаций и совершенствование диагностики синдрома Ашера (СА) особо актуальны в связи с разрабатываемыми подходами к генной терапии заболевания. Среди 46 пациентов с признаками СА патогенные мутации выявлены нами у 40 (87%) пациентов. СА I и II типов определены у 26% и 57% пробандов исходной выборки, соответственно. У пациентов с СА I выявлены мутации в генах MYO7A (73%), CDH23 (7%), PCDH15 (7%), и USH1C (13%). Наибольшую частоту показала мутация MYO7A p.Q18*. Описано 6 новых мутаций в гене MYO7A, и две - в гене PCDH15. У пациентов с СА II выявлена 21 мутация гена USH2A, 5 из которых описаны впервые. Наибольшую частоту показала мутация USH2A p.W3955*. У двух пациентов выявлены мутации в генах несиндромального пигментного ретинита RHO и RPGR, что позволило уточнить клинический диагноз. Studying the mutation spectrum and improvement of molecular verification of the Usher syndrome (USH) are of particular relevance as gene therapy emerges. Among 46 patients with signs of Usher syndrome we identified mutations in 40 (85%) patients, establishing a diagnosis of USH1 and USH2 for 26% and 57% of the probands of the initial sample, respectively. Patients with USH1 showed mutations in the MYO7A (73%), CDH23 (7%), PCDH15 (7%), and USH1C (13%) genes. MYO7A p.Q18* mutation showed the highest frequency. We have identified 6 new mutations in the MYO7A gene, and 2 in the PCDH15 gene. In USH2 patients, 21 USH2A gene mutations were identified, 5 of which are novel. The USH2A mutation p.W3955* was most frequent. Two patients showed mutations in the non-syndromic retinitis pigmentosa genes RHO and RPGR, which made it possible to clarify the clinical diagnosis.
