CRB1 is essential for external limiting membrane integrity and photoreceptor morphogenesis in the mammalian retina
8 Jul 2003
Abstract excerpt
Mutations within the CRB1 gene have been shown to cause human retinal diseases including retinitis pigmentosa and Leber congenital amaurosis. We have recently identified a mouse model, retinal degeneration 8 (rd8) with a single base deletion in the Crb1 gene. This mutation is predicted to cause a frame shift and premature stop codon which truncates the transmembrane and cytoplasmic domain of CRB1. Like in...
