Programmed Cell Death in Retinal Degeneration: Targeting Apoptosis in Photoreceptors as Potential Therapy for Retinal Degeneration
15 Mar 2007
Abstract excerpt
Retinal degenerations are the major cause of incurable blindness characterized by loss of retinal photoreceptor cells. Several genes causing these genetic diseases have been identified, however the molecular characterization of a high percentage of patients affected by retinitis pigmentosa (RP), a common form of retinal degeneration, is still unknown. The high genetic heterogeneity of these diseases hampers the...
