    Altered miRNA expression in canine retinas during normal development and in models of retinal degeneration

    Although more than 246 loci/genes are associated with inherited retinal diseases, the mechanistic events that link genetic mutations to photoreceptor cell death are poorly understood. miRNAs play a relevant ro...

    Modeling the Structural Consequences of BEST1 Missense Mutations

    Mutations in the bestrophin-1 gene (BEST1) are an important cause of inherited retinal disorders. Hitherto, over 100 unique allelic variants have been linked to the human BEST1 (hBEST1), and associated with disea...
