Nuclear receptor NR2E3 gene mutations distort human retinal laminar architecture and cause an unusual degeneration.

abstract：:Microdeletion at chromosomal position 15q13.3 has been described in intellectual disability, autism spectrum disorders, schizophrenia and recently in idiopathic generalized epilepsy (IGE). Using independent IGE cohorts, we first aimed to confirm the association of 15q13.3 deletions and IGE. We then set out to determin...
