title = "Disease modelling and treatment development for RCBTB1-associated retinopathy",
abstract = "Mutations in the RCBTB1 gene lead to a spectrum of inherited retinal diseases presenting with various phenotypic features including early-onset retinitis pigmentosa, progressive late-onset macular chorioretinal atrophy and peripheral retinal abnormalities. However, questions regarding primary retinal pathology, cellular disease mechanism and potential treatment strategies for RCBTB1-associated retinopathy remain unanswered. The increasing frequency of RCBTB1-associatedretinopathy case reports highlights the urgency and importance of investigating the role RCBTB1 in the retina. In this project, retinal cellular models were established from a patient with RCBTB1-associated retinopathy and then used to investigate the pathological mechanism and develop gene replacement therapy for this disease.",
