2018-12-04
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Purpose</h4> Mutations in the KCNJ13 gene are known to cause Leber’s Congenital Amaurosis (LCA16), an inherited pediatric blindness. KCNJ13 gene encodes the Kir7.1 subunit protein which acts as a tetrameric inwardly rectifying potassium ion channel in the retinal pigment epithelium to maintain ionic homeostasis thereby allowing photoreceptors to encode visual information. We sought to determine if genetic a...
