Changes in the organization and expression of cytoskeletal proteins during retinal degeneration induced by retinal detachment.

abstract：PURPOSE:Mutations in the frizzled-4 gene (FZD4) have recently been associated with autosomal dominant familial exudative vitreoretinopathy (FEVR) in families linking to the EVR1 locus on the long arm of chromosome 11. The purpose of this study was to screen FZD4 in a panel of 40 patients with FEVR to identify the types...
