Abstract excerpt
P/rds (peripherin/retinal degeneration slow) is a photoreceptor-specific membrane glycoprotein necessary for outer segment disc morphogenesis. Mutations in P/rds are associated with different blinding diseases. A C214S (Cys214-->Ser) missense mutation has been shown to be the cause for a late-onset form of ADRP (autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa) in humans. In the present study, we generated transgenic mice...
