Table 1. CNGB3 mutations: gating alterations and disease

Summary of gating alterations and diseases diagnoses for functionally characterized mutations in the CNGB3 subunit. Diagnoses included complete achromatopsia (ACHR), progressive cone dystrophy (PCD), and macular degeneration (MD). The affinity coefficients ("Aff. Coeff.") are the K1/2 for cGMP or cAMP. The disease characteristics listed are taken from published reports [3,27-29].
