Identification and Correction of Mechanisms Underlying Inherited Blindness in Human iPSC-Derived Optic Cups
14 Apr 2016
Abstract excerpt
Leber congenital amaurosis (LCA) is an inherited retinal dystrophy that causes childhood blindness. Photoreceptors are especially sensitive to an intronic mutation in the cilia-related gene CEP290, which causes missplicing and premature termination, but the basis of this sensitivity is unclear. Here, we generated differentiated photoreceptors in three-dimensional optic cups and retinal pigment epithelium (RPE)...
