AbstractMutations in the PROMININ-1 (PROM1) gene are associated with inherited, non-syndromic vision loss. Here, we used CRISPR/Cas9 to induce truncating prom1-null mutations in Xenopus laevis to create a disease model. We then tracked progression of retinal degeneration in these animals from the ages of 6 weeks to 3 years old.
