Modulating Expression of Peripherin/<i>rds</i>in Transgenic Mice: Critical Levels and the Effect of Overexpression
26 Jul 2004
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Mutations in the photoreceptor-specific protein peripherin/rds are associated with multiple retinal diseases. To date, attempts to achieve complete structural and functional rescue in animal models of peripherin/rds-induced retinal degeneration have not been successful. Gene therapy-directed approaches have been hindered by the haploinsufficiency phenotype, which dictates well-regulated expression of...
