The retinal origin of congenital nystagmus

Research output: PhD ThesisPhd-Thesis - Research and graduation internal

Abstract

This thesis describes a revolutionary retinal mechanism leading to nystagmus in mouse models for CSNB. In patients with CSNB and nystagmus, mutations were found that are specifically present in the photoreceptor to ON-bipolar cell synapse, both pre- and postsynaptically. Here, we studied one presynaptic (Cav1.4) and two postsynaptic mutations (mGluR6nob3, Nyxnob) that cause CSNB.
