Summary
This paper discusses the development and characterization of a novel zebrafish model of KCNV2 retinopathy, a rare inherited retinal disease, with the intention of examining both functional and cell biological changes caused by the absence of KV8.2.
Categories
Eye health: The paper discusses the development of a zebrafish model for studying KCNV2 retinopathy, a rare inherited retinal disease, thus contributing to the understanding of eye health.
Genetics: The paper discusses the genetic mutations in the KCNV2 gene that cause KCNV2 retinopathy, contributing to the understanding of the genetic basis of this disease.
Animal models in research: The paper discusses the use of a zebrafish model to study the functional and cell biological changes caused by the absence of KV8.2 in KCNV2 retinopathy.
