Abstract excerpt
Biallelic mutations in DRAM2 lead to an autosomal recessive cone-rod dystrophy known as CORD21, which typically presents between the third and sixth decades of life. Although DRAM2 localizes to the lysosomes of photoreceptor and retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cells, its specific role in retinal degeneration has not been fully elucidated. In this study, we generated and characterized retinal organoids (ROs) and...
