Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the photoreceptor transcription factor cone-rod homeobox (CRX) have been identified in patients with several forms of retinal degenerative disease. To investigate the mechanisms by which these mutations cause photoreceptor degeneration, CRX constructs representing eleven known mutations, as well as a set of C-terminal deletions, were generated and tested for their ability to activate a...
