Abstract excerpt
The semidominant mutation Krd (kidney and retinal defects) was identified in transgenic line Tg8052. Krd/+ mice have a high incidence of kidney defects including aplastic, hypoplastic, and cystic kidneys. Retinal defects in Krd/+ mice include abnormal electroretinograms and a reduction of cell numbers that is most extreme in the inner cell and ganglion layers. Viability of Krd/+ mice is strongly influenced by...
