Thyroid hormone receptor beta mutations alter photoreceptor development and function in Danio rerio (zebrafish).

We investigate mutations in trβ2, a splice variant of thrb, identifying changes in function, structure, and behavior in larval and adult zebrafish retinas. Two N-terminus CRISPR mutants were identified. The first is a 6BP+1 insertion deletion frameshift resulting in a truncated protein. The second i...
