NR2E3 (PNR), a nuclear receptor specifically expressed in photoreceptors, represses cone-specific genes and activates several rod-specific genes. In humans, mutations in NR2E3 have been associated with the recessively inherited enhanced short wavelength sensitive (S-) cone syndrome (ESCS) and, recently, with autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa (adRP). In the present work, we describe two additional families affected by adRP that carry a heterozygous c.166G>A (p.G56R) mutation in the NR2E3 gene. Functional analysis determined dominant negative activity of the p.G56R mutant protein as the molecular mechanism of adRP. Interestingly, in one pedigree, the most common causal variant for ESCS (p.R311Q) co-segregated with the adRP-linked p.G56R mutation, and, the compound heterozygotes exhibited an ESCS-like phenotype, which in one of the 2 cases was strikingly “milder” than the patients carrying the p.G56R mutation alone. Impaired repression of cone-specific genes by the corepressors atrophin-1 (dentatorubral-pallidoluysian atrophy DRPLA gene product) and atrophin-2 (RERE repeat protein) appeared to be a molecular mechanism mediating the beneficial effect of the p.R311Q mutation. Finally, the functional dominance of the p.R311Q to the p.G56R mutation is discussed.
