Variant in GFAP segregate with retinal dysplasia and vision loss.

GFAP is expressed in human retinal neural progenitors.

The p.Met310Asnfs*113 protein variant have similar aggregation properties as WT GFAP in vivo.

Zebrafish promoter-less gfap mutants have smaller eyes which can be rescued with WT but not c.928dup mRNA.

Gfap promoter-less mutants are visually impaired.

MGCs, rods and double cones are abnormal in gfap promoter-less mutants
