ANIMAL & CELL MODELS
Gucy2d KO mice develop a cone dystrophy.
  • A 22-kb deletion in the chicken GUCY2D orthologue, GUCY1B leads to a retinal dystrophy in the central retina and proceeds progressively towards the periphery
  • blindness associated with loss of function of retGC1 in the GUCY1*B avian model of LCA1 can be reversed using viral vector-mediated gene transfer (
  • Gucy2f knockdown Zebrafish display significantly lower vision and loss and shortening of cone and rod outer segments leading to early visual dysfunction and photoreceptor layer dystrophy (
