The pathogenic mutation S163R in C1QTNF5 causes a disorder known as autosomal dominant late-onset retinal degeneration (L-ORD), characterized by the presence of thick extracellular sub-RPE deposits, similar histopathologically to those found in AMD patients.

The lack of rd8-associated retinal pathology in the Ctrp5+/-;wt/wt mouse model raised on the C57BL/6J background and the development of the L-ORD phenotype in these mice in the presence and absence of the rd8 mutation suggests that the pathology observed in the Ctrp5+/-;wt/wt mice is primarily associated with the S163R mutation in the Ctrp5 gene.

By filtering against public variant databases, a novel homozygous missense mutation (c.3G>A) localized in the start codon of the MERTK gene was detected as a potentially pathogenic mutation for autosomal recessive RP.
