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 |
