Molecular dissection of TIMP3 mutation S156C associated with Sorsby fundus dystrophy.

Abstract excerpt

Sorsby fundus dystrophy (SFD) is an autosomal dominant macular degeneration of late onset. A key feature of the disease is the thickening of Bruch's membrane, an ECM structure located between the RPE and the choroid. SFD is caused by mutations in the gene encoding the ECM-associated tissue inhibitor of metalloproteases-3 (TIMP3). We have recently generated two Timp3 gene-targeted mouse lines, one deficient for...
