Retinitis pigmentosa 1-like 1 (RP1L1) is a component of photoreceptor cilia. Pathogenic variants in RP1L1 cause photoreceptor diseases, suggesting that RP1L1 plays an important role in photoreceptor biology, although its exact function is unknown. To date, RP1L1 variants have been associated with occult macular dystrophy (cone degeneration) and retinitis pigmentosa (rod degeneration). Here, we summarize the reported RP1L1-associated photoreceptor pathogenic mutations. The association between RP1L1 and other diseases (mainly several tumors) is also summarized and RP1L1 is included in a wider range of diseases. Finally, it is necessary to further explore the influence mechanism of RP1L1 gene on the health of photoreceptors and how it participates in the occurrence and development of tumors.

Background: The immune response against tumors relies on distinguishing between self and non-self, the basis of cancer immunotherapy. Neoantigens from somatic mutations are central to many immunotherapeutic strategies and understanding their landscape in breast cancer is crucial for targeted interventions. We aimed to profile neoantigens in Kenyan breast cancer patients using genomic DNA and total RNA from paired tumor and adjacent non-cancerous tissue samples of 23 patients.

Article Synopsis
- Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common liver cancer, often caused by chronic hepatitis and cirrhosis, with this study aiming to examine the genomic characteristics of HCC in Egyptian patients through whole exome sequencing.
- Whole exome sequencing was performed on 13 HCC patients who underwent surgery, revealing specific mutational signatures and a set of highly mutated genes associated with HCC, including notable mutations in APOB and RP1L1 across multiple studies.
- The findings confirmed previously established patterns in HCC genetics, identifying critical signaling pathways and potential clinical targets, highlighting the importance of these mutations for future research and therapy development.

Background: Occult Macular Dystrophy (OMD), primarily caused by retinitis pigmentosa 1-like 1 (RP1L1) variants, is a complex retinal disease characterised by progressive vision loss and a normal fundus appearance. This study aims to investigate the diverse phenotypic expressions and genotypic correlations of OMD in Chinese patients, including a rare case of Vitelliform Macular Dystrophy (VMD) associated with RP1L1.
Methods: We analysed seven OMD patients and one VMD patient, all with heterozygous pathogenic RP1L1 variants.

Department of Ophthalmology, Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine of Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland, Ohio, USA.
Purpose: Occult macular dystrophy (OMD) is a cause of visual loss in young adults with a grossly normal fundus appearance. It is considered an autosomal dominant disorder, related to heterozygous pathogenic variants in the gene . The purpose of this study is to report a biallelic form of the disease.

Purpose: We sought to explore whether sex imbalances are discernible in several autosomally inherited macular dystrophies.
Methods: We searched the electronic patient records of our large inherited retinal disease cohort, quantifying numbers of males and females with the more common (non-ABCA4) inherited macular dystrophies (associated with BEST1, EFEMP1, PROM1, PRPH2, RP1L1, and TIMP3). BEST1 cases were subdivided into typical autosomal dominant and recessive disease.
