Abstract excerpt
Importance: Gene therapy is a promising treatment for choroideremia, an X-linked retinal degeneration. The required minimum level of gene expression to ameliorate degeneration rate is unknown. This can be interrogated by exploring the association between messenger RNA (mRNA) levels and phenotype in mildly affected patients with choroideremia. Objective: To analyze CHM mRNA splicing outcomes in 2 unrelated...
