Early disruption of photoreceptor cell architecture and loss of vision in a humanized pig model of usher syndromes

Abstract Usher syndrome (USH) is the most common form of monogenic deaf‐blindness. Loss of vision is untreatable and there are no suitable animal models for testing therapeutic strategies of the ocular constituent of USH, so far. By introducing a human mutation into the harmonin‐encoding USH1C gene...
