The genetically complex multifactorial cause of PR degeneration is exploring, attempting to uncover the cellular mechanisms underlying hereditary PR degeneration that would require knowledge regarding the enormous genetic heterogeneity of this disease group [38]. To date, the constructions and functions of visual phototransduction proteins and their roles in human retinal are also under explored. Many ocular diseases arise from abnormalities in retinoid related visual cycle proteins [387]. As mentioned above, signal transduction in the visual cycle happens due to a G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) called opsin, which contains an 11-cis-retinal chromophore [388]. The combined changes in the receptor potentials of rods and cones trigger nerve impulses that our brain takes as vision [387]. G protein-coupled receptor; is light sensitive which contains an 11-cis-retinal chromophore [389]. One form of autosomal main RP (classified as rod-cone dystrophy) is attendant with a missense mutation, A346P, sited in the RHO gene. Data has been shown that this mutation restricts with normal regeneration of photoreceptors. Mutations consequential in a mutant RHO protein relates with the autosomal recessive disease. Thus, advanced central vision is a result of PRs cells shortage [390, 391]. RPE65 is a member of the carotenoid oxygenase family which is crucial for the proper function of the visual cycle. Thus, RPE65 mutation cause to prominent retinal abnormalities and dysfunction at birth. Moreover, RHO levels are significantly reduced in the RPE65 mutant [375, 392]. Mutations in RPE65 are associated with autosomal recessive retinitis pigmentosa. Over the past decade RPE65 model has been largely considered as an objective for gene therapy. Successful RPE65 gene therapy has also been displayed using the Swedish Briard dog model [393]. Recombinant AAV (rAAV) was injected subretinally at a variety of ages from 1 month to 4 years and resulted in significantly improved visual function (ERG), retinoid content, and visual behavior. Defects in the RPE65 gene lead to canine and mouse models of LCA which have recently been considered as models for gene therapy [394,395,396]. As to date, Voretigene neparvovec-rzyl (Luxturna, Spark Therapeutics, Philadelphia) was approved by U.S FDA for ocular gene therapy of RPE65 in 2017, which transduces some RPE cells with a cDNA encoding normal human RPE65 protein, making it possible to repair the visual cycle [397, 398]. Currently, human clinical trials using a similar vector are continuing. Clinical tails for ocular gene therapy were initiated through subretinal injection of an AAV2 vector carrying a normal human RPE65 cDNA for LCA2 patients (NCT00481546, NCT00516477, and NCT00643747) [399,400,401,402,403,404,405] which results in substantial visual enhancement [406, 407]. 781b155fdc
