A Retinal Neuronal Developmental Wave of Retinoschisin Expression Begins in Ganglion Cells during Layer Formation
23 Aug 2004
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Mutations in the retinoschisin gene, RS-1, cause juvenile X-linked retinoschisis (XLRS), a dystrophy characterized by delamination of the inner retinal layers, leading to visual impairment. Although the retinoschisin protein (RS) is expressed most abundantly in photoreceptors in the outer retina, XLRS disease affects the innermost retinal layers, including the nerve fiber layer that contains retinal...
