Abstract excerpt
Retinoschisin (RS1) is a secreted protein that is essential for maintaining integrity of the retina. Numerous mutations in RS1 cause X-linked retinoschisis (XLRS), a progressive degeneration of the retina that leads to vision loss in young males. A key manifestation of XLRS is the formation of cavities (cysts) in the retina and separation of the layers (schisis), disrupting synaptic transmission. There are...
