Abstract excerpt
PRPF31 is ubiquitously expressed splicing factor and has an essential role in the pre-mRNA splicing in all tissues. However, it is not clear how reduced expression of this general splicing factor leads to retinal restricted disease, retinitis pigmentosa (RP). In this study, we used RNA interference and RNA-sequencing to mimic the PRPF31 haploinsufficiency in human organotypic retinal cultures (HORCs). We examined...
