Other examples are the development of uveitis when the expression of interphotoreceptor retinoid-binding protein (IRBP) in thymic epithelial cells was faulty (142) and the development of autoimmune myocarditis in mice and human upon loss of α-isoform of myosin heavy chain (α-MyHC) gene expression by mTECs (143). Here, RBP3 is linked to autoimmune myocarditis.
