Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To establish mouse models for RPGR-associated diseases by generating and characterizing an Rpgr mutation (in-frame deletion of exon 4) in two different genetic backgrounds (BL/6 and BALB/c). METHODS: Gene targeting in embryonic stem (ES) cells was performed to introduce a in-frame deletion of exon 4 in the Rpgr gene (Rpgr(DeltaEx4)). Subsequently, the mutation was introduced in two different inbred mouse...
