However, in dPLD3.1 photoreceptors, overexpression of vps35 results in two key outcomes: (i) the increased numbers of RLVs seen in dPLD3.1 are reduced back to wild type levels (Figure 6D) and (ii) the retinal degeneration of dPLD3.1 is suppressed (Figure 6C). Here, VPS35 is linked to retinal degeneration.
