The Expression of the Leber Congenital Amaurosis Protein AIPL1 Coincides with Rod and Cone Photoreceptor Development
24 Nov 2003
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: The Leber congenital amaurosis (LCA) protein AIPL1 is present only in the rod photoreceptors of the adult human retina and is excluded from the cone photoreceptors. LCA, however, is characterized by an absence of both rod and cone function at birth or shortly thereafter. Therefore, this study was conducted to determine whether AIPL1 is present in the rod and cone photoreceptors of the developing human...
