Analysis of genes differentially expressed during retinal degeneration in three mouse models.

Abstract excerpt

An estimated 100,000 people in the US alone have retinitis pigmentosa. This disease, caused by the loss of rods and cones, results in blindness. With the intention of identifying common cell death pathways that result in RP, the pattern of global gene expression in three different mouse models of retinal degeneration was analyzed using DNA arrays. The models used were opsin ( Delta255-256 ), a transgenic mouse...
