  • TRANSGENIC PIG FOR MUTANT GUCY2D AS CONE DYSTROPHY MODEL
    Publication number: 20140033333
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a transgenic pig as a model for studying a cone affecting disease, in particular a cone dystrophy or cone-rod-dystrophy, wherein the pig model expresses a dominant negative guanylate-cyclase-2D (GUCY2D) protein, in particular a GUCY2D protein comprising at least one mutation responsible for the appearance of a CORD6 cone dystrophy in a human being. The invention further relates to methods by which the transgenic pig is produced, to uses of said transgenic pig or of one of its elements to identify new biomarkers of a cone affecting disease and/or new compounds for preventing or treating such a disease. Novel methods for preventing or treating a cone affecting disease or for evaluating conditions needed to alleviate such a disease are further herein described.
