Inflammation Of The Retinal Pigment Epithelium Drives Early-Onset Photoreceptor Degeneration In Mertk-Associated Retinitis Pigmentosa

M. E. Mercau, Y. T. Akalu, F. Mazzoni, G. Gyimesi, E. J. Alberto, Y. Kong, B. Hafler, S. C. Finnemann, C. V. Rothlin, S. Ghosh

This study shows that RPE inflammation, not failed phagocytosis, drives early-onset photoreceptor degeneration in Mertk-deficient mice.

Tissue-specific modifier alleles determine Mertk loss-of-function traits

Y. T. Akalu, M. E. Mercau, M. Ansems, S. Wagage, L. D. Hughes, J. Nevin, E. J. Alberto, X. E. Liu, L.-Z. He, D. Alvarado, T. Keler, Y. Kong, W. M. Philbrick, S. C. Finnemann, A. Iavarone, , S. Ghosh

This study shows that Mertk loss-of-function traits depend on tissue-specific modifier alleles, not just Mertk itself.
