Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the human Crumbs homologue-1 (CRB1) gene cause retinal diseases including Leber's congenital amaurosis (LCA) and retinitis pigmentosa type 12. The CRB1 transmembrane protein localizes at a subapical region (SAR) above intercellular adherens junctions between photoreceptor and Müller glia (MG) cells. We demonstrate that the Crb1-/- phenotype, as shown in Crb1-/- mice, is accelerated and intensified in...
