Abstract excerpt
A new N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea (ENU)-induced mouse recessive mutation, identified by fundus examination of the eye, develops depigmented patches, indicating retinal disorder. Histology data show aberrant retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) and late-onset photoreceptor cell loss in the mutant retina. Chromosomal mapping and DNA sequencing reveal a point mutation (T to A) of the Slc9a8 gene, resulting in mutant...
