Patient-specific iPSC-derived photoreceptor precursor cells as a means to investigate retinitis pigmentosa

Next-generation and Sanger sequencing were combined to identify disease-causing USH2A mutations in an adult patient with autosomal recessive RP. Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), generated from the patient’s keratinocytes, were differentiated into multi-layer eyecup-like structures with featur...
