Retinal Organoids from an AIPL1 CRISPR/Cas9 Knockout Cell Line Successfully Recapitulate the Molecular Features of LCA4 Disease
21 Mar 2023
Abstract excerpt
Aryl hydrocarbon receptor-interacting protein-like 1 (AIPL1) is expressed in photoreceptors where it facilitates the assembly of phosphodiesterase 6 (PDE6) which hydrolyses cGMP within the phototransduction cascade. Genetic variations in AIPL1 cause type 4 Leber congenital amaurosis (LCA4), which presents as rapid loss of vision in early childhood. Limited in vitro LCA4 models are available, and these rely on...
