Genetic animal models for retinal degeneration.

Abstract excerpt

Inherited retinal degenerations are a common cause of blindness in Western countries. A mechanism for most retinal degenerations is still unknown; hence, a suitable treatment for most of these diseases has yet to be found. Before one can rationally design a treatment, it is necessary to understand the pathway from a gene mutation to the phenotype in patients. Animal models are crucial to understand this process...
