Abstract excerpt
Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is an inherited retinal disorder characterized by the progressive loss of photoreceptors that currently lacks effective treatment. Here, we investigated the effects of the PRPF8-Y2334N variant on neural retina cells using human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC)-derived retinal organoids. Expression of PRPF8-Y2334N variant resulted in photoreceptor defects, including thinning of the...
