متن کاملEmerging gene therapies for retinal degenerations.
Introduction Our most cherished sense, vision, begins with the process of phototransduction, a process performed by the highly specialized photoreceptor cells of the retina: the rods and cones (Rodieck, 1998). Rod photoreceptor cells are needed for night vision, as they are able to respond to very few photons, while cones are active under bright light conditions and are responsible for color vi...
متن کاملMitochondrial gene mutation screening in hearing loss patients, Hormozgan, Iran
Introduction: Hearing loss is the most frequent sensory disorder occurs in 1/1000 newborns. About 50% of hearing loss cases are due to genetic causes. Mutation in MTRNR1(A1555G), MTTL1(A3243G) and MTTS1(A7445G) are known to be one of the important cause of nonsyndromic Sensorineural hearing loos in some populations. This study aims to demonstrate the frequency of three mitochondrial mutatio...
