Abstract

ARL6, or BBS3, encodes a protein that binds the ciliary membrane protein complex containing seven BBS (Bardet-Biedl syndrome) proteins [1]. Mutations are responsible for rod-cone (86.9%) and cone-rod (13.1%) dystrophies [2] and for syndromic features associated with Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS). ARL6 mutations may also cause isolated retinitis pigmentosa (RP) [3, 4].
