Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To identify the gene mutation responsible for a previously described rat model of X-linked congenital stationary night blindness (CSNB). METHODS: Rat orthologous genes for Nyx and Cacna1f were isolated from retina through rapid amplification the cDNA ends (RACE) and examined for mutations. Electroretinograms were used to identify affected animals. RESULTS: The rat Nyx cDNA spans 1,971 nucleotides and...
