Abstract excerpt
Cone-rod dystrophy (CRD) is a macular degeneration disorder characterized by initial cone cell degeneration. Mutations in CDHR1, a photoreceptor-specific cadherin, have been found to be associated with the incidence of CRD. While studying the function of CDHR1, we observed that the localization of the zebrafish homologue, cdhr1a, resembles that of calyceal process (CPs). When co-labeling CPs using pcdh15b, we...
