| Disease ID | Source | Name | Description |
| 616079 | OMIM | Retinal dystrophy with inner retinal dysfunction and ganglion cell abnormalities (RDGCA) | An autosomal dominant retinal dystrophy characterized by inner retinal dysfunction in association with ganglion cell abnormalities. Clinical features include mild photophobia, progressive loss of central vision, night blindness, and hyperreflectivity of nerve and ganglion cell layers. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. |
| 176500 | OMIM | Cerebral amyloid angiopathy, ITM2B-related 1 (CAA-ITM2B1) | A disorder characterized by amyloid deposition in the walls of cerebral blood vessels and neurodegeneration in the central nervous system. Cerebral amyloid angiopathy, non-neuritic and perivascular plaques and neurofibrillary tangles are the predominant pathological lesions. Clinical features include progressive mental deterioration, spasticity and muscular rigidity. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. A single base substitution at the stop codon of ITM2B generates a 277-residue precursor that is cleaved at the normal furin processing site to generate the ABri amyloidogenic peptide (PubMed:10391242). ABri accumulates in the brain and produces amyloid fibrils responsible for neuronal dysfunction and dementia. ABri peptide variant forms fibrils in vitro (PubMed:10526337). |
| 117300 | OMIM | Cerebral amyloid angiopathy, ITM2B-related 2 (CAA-ITM2B2) | A disorder characterized by amyloid deposition in the walls of the blood vessels of the cerebrum, choroid plexus, cerebellum, spinal cord and retina. Plaques and neurofibrillary tangles are observed in the hippocampus. Clinical features include progressive ataxia, dementia, cataracts and deafness. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. A decamer duplication in the 3' region of ITM2B results in the production of the ADan amyloidogenic peptide (PubMed:10781099). ADan is generated by cleavage of the mutated precursor at the normal furin processing site. ADan accumulates in the brain and produces amyloid fibrils responsible for neuronal dysfunction and dementia. |
