Functional study of the AMD-associated gene <i>TMEM97</i> in retinal pigmented epithelium using CRISPR interference
2020-07-11
Abstract excerpt
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a blinding disease characterised by dysfunction of the retinal pigmented epithelium (RPE) which culminates in disruption or loss of the neurosensory retina. Genome-wide association studies have identified >65 genetic risk factors for AMD, including the TMEM97 locus. TMEM97 encodes the Sigma-2 receptor which is involved in apoptosis and cytotoxicity across a range of neur...
