Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Mutations in Tissue Inhibitor of Metalloproteinases 3 (TIMP3) cause Sorsby's Fundus Dystrophy (SFD), a dominantly inherited, rare form of macular degeneration that results in vision loss. TIMP3 is synthesized primarily by retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells, which constitute the outer blood-retinal barrier. One major function of RPE is the synthesis and transport of vital nutrients, such as...
