Abstract excerpt
Central areolar choroidal dystrophy is an inherited disorder characterized by progressive choriocapillaris atrophy and retinal degeneration and is usually associated with mutations in the PRPH2 gene. We aimed to generate and characterize a mouse model with the p.Arg195Leu mutation previously described in patients. Heterozygous (Prph2WT/KI) and homozygous (Prph2KI/KI) mice were generated using the CRISPR/Cas9...
