This study examines Spin4 knockout mice and finds increased tumor prevalence and body length, but no changes in body weight, composition, or bone density.

The paper identifies a hypomorphic MYRF variant causing partial loss of function in the RPE, with two novel splicing variants linked to isolated nanophthalmos.

The paper identifies NTE activity as a biomarker for retinopathy and endocrinopathy in PNPLA6 disorders, using clinical and preclinical data to establish a genotype-activity-phenotype relationship.

The paper shows that Zfp503 is essential for RPE differentiation and optic fissure closure, with loss of function leading to uveal coloboma and altered gene expression in developing mouse eyes.

This study identifies Shisa7 phosphorylation at S405 as critical for GABAAR trafficking and function, leading to altered synaptic inhibition and neurodevelopmental behaviors in mice.

This paper identifies new retinal ganglion cell types and brain nuclei expressing Brn3c using a novel Cre allele, revealing expanded RGC diversity and novel connectivity patterns.

The paper identifies and verifies three genes associated with survival in colon adenocarcinoma using integrated bioinformatics analysis of gene expression data.
