概括
这项研究揭示了CRX基因的致病变异会在韩国患者中引起多种视网膜变. 家庭主体中的变种通常会导致杆缩症 (CORD) 或黄斑缩症 (MD),而下游变种会导致更广泛的谱系,包括勒伯先天性黄斑症 (LCA) 和视网膜色素炎 (RP).

01:20The Retinoblastoma Gene
Tumor suppressor genes are normal genes that can slow down cell division, repair DNA mistakes, or program the cells for apoptosis in case of irreparable damage. Hence, they play an essential role in preventing the proliferation of damaged cells.
The first-ever tumor suppressor gene called Rb was identified in retinoblastoma - a rare eye tumor in children. In inherited forms of the disease, a child inherits one defective copy of the Rb gene, which predisposes them to retinoblastoma. However,...
