A new mouse model for retinal degeneration due to Fam161a deficiency

Abstract FAM161A mutations are the most common cause of inherited retinal degenerations in Israel. We generated a knockout (KO) mouse model, Fam161a tm1b/tm1b , lacking the major exon #3 which was replaced by a construct that include LacZ under the expression of the Fam161a promoter.
