From paleness to albinism: Contribution of OCA2 exon 10 skipping to hypopigmentation

Elina Mercier, David‐Alexandre Trégouët, Sébastien Campagne, Vincent Michaud, David J. Green, Shahram Mesdaghi, Orane Le Gallais, Orphée Jouannigot-Castano, Daniel John Rigden, Catherine E. Estay-Ahumada, David Hicks, Panagiotis I. Sergouniotis, Benoı̂t Arveiler, Sophie Javerzat

The paper investigates how variants in OCA2 exon 10 affect splicing and pigmentation, showing that some variants increase exon skipping and contribute to hypopigmentation.

Core Circadian Clock Genes Per1 and Per2 regulate the Rhythm in Photoreceptor Outer Segment Phagocytosis

Nemanja Milićević, Ouafa Ait-Hmyed Hakkari, Udita Bagchi, Cristina Sandu, Aldo Jongejan, Perry D. Moerland, Jacoline B. ten Brink, David Hicks, Arthur A B Bergen, Marie‐Paule Felder‐Schmittbuhl

This study shows that Per1 and Per2 are required for the daily rhythm of photoreceptor outer segment phagocytosis, with the RPE driving this process transcriptionally.

Distinctive properties of cones in the retinal clock and the circadian system

Cristina Sandu, Prapimpun Wongchitrat, Nadia Mazzaro, Catherine Jaeger, Hugo Calligaro, Jorge Mendoza, David Hicks, Marie‐Paule Felder‐Schmittbuhl

The paper identifies cones as an autonomous oscillator in the retinal network and shows they provide input to the master clock under constant light.
