Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the cadherin 23 gene (CDH23) cause Usher syndrome type 1D in humans, a disease that results in retinitis pigmentosa and deafness. Cdh23 is also mutated in the waltzer mouse. In order to determine if the retina of the waltzer mouse undergoes retinal degeneration and to gain insight into the function of cadherin 23 in the retina, we have characterized the anatomy and physiology of retinas of waltzer...
