ANIMAL & CELL MODELS
canine model of arRP due to a PDE6A gene mutation shows puppies failing to develop normal rod-mediated ERG responses and reduced light-adapted a-wave amplitudes from an early age. Development of photoreceptor outer segments stopped, and rod cells were lost by apoptosis. Western blot analysis showed that the PDE6A mutation resulted in a lack of PDE6A protein and other PDE6 subunits
