Purpose: USH2A mutations are the leading cause of autosomal recessive retinitis pigmentosa (RP), a progressive blinding disease marked by photoreceptor degeneration. Animal models fail to recapitulate the features of USH2A RP seen in humans, and its earliest pathogenic events remain unknown. Here, we established a human model of USH2A RP using retinal organoids derived from patient induced pluripotent stem cells...
