Brief description Retinitis Pigmentosa is a leading cause of human blindness that is currently untreatable. Elevated cyclic nucleotide levels have been shown to have a causal link with the degenerative process. This proposal will develop animal models of retinal degeneration as well as use a genetic mutant showing elevated cyclic nucleotides to identify the mechanism for retinal degeneration. In addition, potential therapeutic options will be investigated using currently available drugs.
