RNA‐seq analysis of ageing human retinal pigment epithelium: Unexpected up‐regulation of visual cycle gene transcription
1 May 2021
Abstract excerpt
Abstract Ageing presents adverse effects on the retina and is the primary risk factor for age‐related macular degeneration (AMD). We report the first RNA‐seq analysis of age‐related transcriptional changes in the human retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), the primary site of AMD pathogenesis. Whole transcriptome sequencing of RPE from human donors ranging in age from 31 to 93 reveals that ageing is associated with...
