Novel cellular models for the study of developmental diseases
Research Abstract
Lowe syndrome (LS) is a fatal genetic disorder in which inheritance of a mutated form of the OCRL1 gene leads to kidney, eye, and brain defects. Understanding how LS impairs the function of these organs at the cellular level is important to gain a fuller perspective of the disease and enable the discovery of targets for treatment.
