Meis2 is required for GABAergic amacrine cell survival in the developing retina.

Shaherah Alqahtani, Patrick C. Kerstein

This study shows Meis2 is essential for the survival of specific GABAergic amacrine cell subtypes in the developing mammalian retina, with loss of Meis2 leading to subtype-specific cell death after postnatal day 5.
