Large is required for normal astrocyte migration and retinal vasculature development
2017
Background
Persistent fetal vasculature (PFV) is a congenital developmental anomaly of the eye that accounts for about 5% of childhood blindness. The molecular mechanism of PFV remains unclear. As a glycosyltransferase of α-dystroglycan, LARGE mutations have been found in congenital muscular dystrophy patients with brain abnormalities. Spontaneous Large mutant mice displayed similar symptoms of human muscle–eye–brain disorders. However, the detailed roles of Large in ocular vasculature development still need to be uncovered.
