Abstract excerpt
Purpose: Mutations in TMEM216, a ciliary transition zone tetraspan transmembrane protein, are linked to Joubert syndrome and Meckel syndrome. Photoreceptor degeneration is a prominent phenotype in Joubert syndrome. How TMEM216 contributes to photoreceptor health is poorly understood. Methods: We have generated tmem216 knockout zebrafish by CRISPR genome editing. The impact of TMEM216 deletion on photoreceptors...
