Retinal oxygen saturation in retinitis pigmentosa and macular dystrophies in asian-Indian eyes.

abstract：Purpose:The cone-rod homeobox (CRX) transcription factor is essential for photoreceptor gene expression, differentiation, and survival. Human CRX mutations can cause dominant retinopathies of varying onset and phenotype severity. In animal models, dominant frameshift Crx mutations introduce a premature termination codo...
