Abstract excerpt
The carboxy-terminus of the spliceosomal protein PRPF8, which regulates the RNA helicase Brr2, is a hotspot for mutations causing retinitis pigmentosa-type 13, with unclear role in human splicing and tissue-specificity mechanism. We used patient induced pluripotent stem cells-derived cells, carrying the heterozygous PRPF8 c.6926 A > C (p.H2309P) mutation to demonstrate retinal-specific endophenotypes comprising...
