22 Nov 2006
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Mutations in the membrane frizzled-related protein (MFRP) gene cause nanophthalmos in humans, and a splice site mutation causes recessive retinal degeneration in the rd6 mouse. In human and mouse genomes, the MFRP gene lies adjoining to the complement 1q tumor necrosis factor-related protein 5 (CTRP5/C1QTNF5) gene involved in causing retinal degeneration and abnormal lens zonules in human. The purpose of...
