Normally functioning lecithin retinol acyltransferase (LRAT) mediates the transfer of an acyl group onto all-trans-retinol (atROL), forming retinyl esters (REs), the storage form of retinoids. Defects in LRAT cause Leber congenital amaurosis type 14 (LCA14, MIM:613341), an autosomal recessive juvenile-onset retinal dystrophy affecting rod and cone photoreceptors. Leber congenital amaurosis (LCA) comprises a group of early-onset retinal dystrophies characterized by vision loss, nystagmus, and severe retinal dysfunction (Chung & Traboulsi 2009). Loss of function is caused by the mutants S175R, 396delAA (Thompson et al. 2001) and 217delAT (Senechal et al. 2006, den Hollander et al. 2007) (the latter two not displayed).
