Project description:Recessive retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is often caused by nonsense mutations that lead to low mRNA levels as a result of nonsense-mediated decay. Some RP genes are expressed at detectable levels in leukocytes as well as in the retina. We designed a microarray-based method to find recessive RP genes based on low lymphoblast mRNA expression levels Keywords: Recessive mutations; mRNA expression; nonsense mediated-decay; retinitis pigmentosa; lymphocyte; Affymetrix genechip Human Genome U133Plus2.0.
Project description:Experiment to examine the miRNA profiles in the retina compared to the brain and other body regions. A comparison of a wild type C57 mouse retina versus a retina from a mouse model of retinitis pigmentosa (Pro347Ser) was under taken.
Project description:A Drosophila mutant for the splicing factor Prp31 was generated and characterized as a model for Retinitis pigmentosa 11. The transcriptome of the mutant was compared to the genetic control white.

Project description:The retinal transcriptome of two non-allelic forms of retinitis pigmentosa (RP) in dogs, RCD1 and XLPRA2, was analyzed at clinically relevant advanced stages of the two diseases and compared to that of adult normal dogs.
