Candidate gene
  • a strong candidate gene for retinal diseases (
  • Marker
    Therapy target
    ANIMAL & CELL MODELS
  • transgenic mice carrying a premature termination codon mutation developed age-dependent fundus lesions with electroretinographic changes consistent with defects in photoreceptor synaptic transmission , and retinal degeneration (
  • reduction in proteins associated with synaptic vesicles and a possible compensatory increase in proteins involved in docking-exocytosis and endocytosis were observed in both the outer and inner plexiform layers of the retina of the transgenic HRG4 mouse model (
  • deletion of UNC119 gene in both mouse and C. elegans led to G protein mislocalization (
