英文摘要Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) refers to a group of retinal degenerative diseases, which often lead to vision loss. Although 70 genes have been identified in RP patients, the genetic cause of approximately 30% of RP cases remains unknown. We aimed to identify the cause of the disease in a cohort of RP families by whole exome sequencing. A rare homozygous splicing variant, c.1160+1G> A, which introduced skipping of exon 9 of the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR), was identified in family RD-134. This variant is very rare in several exome databases and leads to skipping of exon 9 in the transcript. AHR is expressed in the human retina and is a ligand-activated transcription factor with multiple functions. Mutant AHR failed to promote 2, 3, 7, 8-tetra-chlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD)-induced xenobiotic responsive element (XRE) luciferase activity. In parallel, mutation in AHR abolished activation of its downstream target gene, such as CYP1A1 and CYP1A2. To investigate the in vivo roles of Ahr in the retina, we generated a retina-specific conditional knockout mouse model of Ahr. Comparing with wild-type mouse, Ahr knockout mice exhibited reduced electroretinogram responses at 9 months of age. Retinal histology revealed retinal histology showed the degeneration of photoreceptors with a thinner outer nuclear layer. Thus, our data demonstrate that AHR is associated with RP.
