Comparative analysis of homologous genes in distantly related species provides important insights into the evolution of complex physiological processes. The __Drosophila retinal degeneration B__ (__rdgB__) gene encodes a protein involved in phototransduction in the fly. We have isolated a human gene
## Abstract Retinal degenerations such as retinitis pigmentosa (RP) or glaucoma are a major cause of blindness in humans. Understanding the mechanisms underlying the various types of retinal degeneration is a preβrequisite for the development of rational therapies for these diseases. Activation of
## Background: Retinal degeneration is the leading cause of visual impairment in older adults, but little is known about its relationship to neurotoxic exposures. ## Methods: The agricultural health study is a cohort study of licensed pesticide applicators from iowa and north carolina. we used cr
