Abstract excerpt
A pathologic feature of late-onset retinal degeneration caused by the S163R mutation in C1q-tumor necrosis factor-5 (C1QTNF5) is the presence of unusually thick deposits between the retinal pigmented epithelium (RPE) and the vascular choroid, considered a hallmark of this disease. Following its specific expression in mouse RPE, the S163R mutant exhibits a reversed polarized distribution relative to the apically...
