Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Hyperoxia-related retinal degeneration (HRRD) is a model system in the mouse in which elevated oxygen levels are used to induce retinal degeneration. The hypothesis for the present study was that strain differences in HRRD susceptibility are due to allelic variants of one or more genes in the mouse genome whose human orthologues should be important targets for research and drug development. METHODS:...
