RD3 gene delivery restores guanylate cyclase localization and rescues photoreceptors in the Rd3 mouse model of Leber congenital amaurosis 12
4 Jun 2013
Abstract excerpt
RD3 is a 23 kDa protein implicated in the stable expression of guanylate cyclase in photoreceptor cells. Truncation mutations are responsible for photoreceptor degeneration and severe early-onset vision loss in Leber congenital amaurosis 12 (LCA12) patients, the rd3 mouse and the rcd2 collie. To further investigate the role of RD3 in photoreceptors and explore gene therapy as a potential treatment for LCA12, we...
