Abstract excerpt
Extensive mutational heterogeneity presents a significant barrier to the development of therapeutics for RDS-peripherin-linked autosomal-dominant retinitis pigmentosa (RP), for which more than 50 disease-related mutations have been identified to date. Mutation-independent suppression, using RNA interference (RNAi), together with simultaneous expression of a replacement rds gene (r-rds, which has been altered to...
