• Mutation details: The entire coding region of mutant human rhodopsin (P23H) implicated in dominantly inherited retinitis pigmentosa was used for the transgene. The transgene includes 4.2 kb of upstream sequence and 8.4 kb of downstream sequence. (J:76722)

Notes

Mutant lines D, E, and L harboring the mutant human rhodopsin gene were constructed. Lines D and E express 3x and 1x the amount of endogenous rhodopsin, respectively, resulting in severe retinitis pigmentosa. Line L expresses 1/6x the amount of endogenous rhodopsin and exhibits a mild disease phenotype.
