Abstract

Purpose. Most retinal disease genes are preferentially expressed in photoreceptors, the light-sensitive cells involved in phototransduction. In addition, some of the genes linked to retinal diseases are essential for normal retinal development. The goal of this study was to identify new transcripts enriched in photoreceptors involved in retinal development or diseases.
