Abstract excerpt
The THRB thyroid hormone receptor gene has attracted growing attention for its role in retinal development and disease. This gene has particularly critical roles in cone photoreceptors, the specialized cells that mediate color vision and high acuity vision. THRB controls the diversity of cone types that are required for color vision and influences cone survival in mammalian model species and human retinal...
