Abstract excerpt
Human infantile-onset RNASET2-deficient cystic leukoencephalopathy is a Mendelian mimic of in utero cytomegalovirus brain infection with prenatally developing inflammatory brain lesions. We used an RNASET2-deficient zebrafish model to elucidate the underlying disease mechanisms. Mutant and wild-type zebrafish larvae brain development between 2 and 5 days post fertilization (dpf) was examined by confocal live...
