Abstract excerpt
Late-onset retinal degeneration (L-ORD) is an autosomal dominant macular dystrophy resulting from mutations in the gene CTRP5/C1QTNF5. A mouse model (Ctrp5+/-) for the most common S163R developed many features of human clinical disease. We generated a novel homozygous Ctrp5 gene knock-out (Ctrp5-/-) mouse model to further study the mechanism of L-ORD. The retinal morphology of these mice was evaluated by retinal...
