A deletion in a photoreceptor-specific nuclear receptor mRNA causes retinal degeneration in the <i>rd7</i> mouse
9 May 2000
Abstract excerpt
The rd7 mouse, an animal model for hereditary retinal degeneration, has some characteristics similar to human flecked retinal disorders. Here we report the identification of a deletion in a photoreceptor-specific nuclear receptor (mPNR) mRNA that is responsible for hereditary retinal dysplasia and degeneration in the rd7 mouse. mPNR was isolated from a pool of photoreceptor-specific cDNAs originally created by...
