Mutations in the human BEST1 gene lead to retinal degenerative diseases displaying progressive vision loss and even blindness. BESTROPHIN1, encoded by BEST1, is predominantly expressed pigment epithelium (RPE), but its physiological role has been a mystery for last two decades. Using patient-specific iPSC-based disease model interdisciplinary approaches, we comprehensively analyzed distinct patient mutations, discovered mechanistic correlations between clinical phenotypes, electrophysiology...

Background Previous studies indicated that apolipoprotein measurements predicted cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk; however, associations between apolipoproteins and carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) were less explored. Methodology Principal Findings The cross-sectional study included 6069 participants aged 40 years or older with NGT from Shanghai, China. Serum fasting traditional lipids (total cholesterol [TC], low-density lipoprotein [LDL-C], high-density [HDL-C] triglycerides [TG]),...

Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is an incurable neurodegenerative condition featuring photoreceptor death that leads to blindness. Currently, there no approved therapeutic for degenerative conditions like RP and atrophic age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Although are promising results in human gene therapy, a genetically diverse disorder, such gene-specific therapies would be practical small fraction of patients with RP. Here, we explore non-gene-specific strategy entails reprogramming...
