Alternative splicing and retinal degeneration. (#23647439#)
Alternative splicing is highly regulated in tissue-specific and development-specific patterns, and it has been estimated that 15% of disease-causing point mutations affect pre-mRNA splicing.
Cis-acting splice site and trans-acting splicing factor mutations can affect pre-mRNA splicing and contribute to retinal degeneration.
Numerous splice site mutations have been identified in retinitis pigmentosa (RP) and (...) -

photoreceptors
22 April 2004The retina consists of three main cellular layers (right): a rod cells (R) and cone cells (C) layer or photoreceptor layer, a layer of interneurons (bipolar interneurons, horizontal interneurons, amacrine cells) and the ganglion cell layer, whose axons form the optic nerve, connecting retina and brain.
The photoreceptors are oriented in the same plane as incoming light, which funnels through the inner to the OS.
The outer segment contains a dense array of light-sensitive, hollow discs, (...) -
