Duplication of TBK1 Stimulates Autophagy in iPSC-derived Retinal Cells from a Patient with Normal Tension Glaucoma
1 Jan 2014
Abstract excerpt
Duplication of theTBK1 gene causes normal tension glaucoma (NTG); however the mechanism by which this copy number variation leads to retinal ganglion cell death is poorly understood. The ability to use skin-derived induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) to investigate the function or dysfunction of a mutant gene product in inaccessible tissues such as the retina now provides us with the ability to interrogate...
