Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Mutations in the human crumbs homologue 1 (CRB1) gene are associated with a spectrum of inherited retinal diseases. However, functional studies demonstrating the impact of individual CRB1 mutations on gene expression are lacking for most variants. Here, we investigated the effect of two CRB1 variants on pre-mRNA splicing using neural retinal organoids (NRO) derived from a patient with recessive...
