Lebercilin, also known as leber congenital amaurosis 5 (LCA5), is a protein that in humans is encoded by the LCA5 gene.[1][2][3] This protein is thought to be involved in centrosomal or ciliary functions.

Clinical significance

Mutations in the LCA5 gene are associated with Leber's congenital amaurosis.
