Subretinal inflammation is a strong component of retinopathy progression in different RD models (age-related macular degeneration (AMD), diabetic retinopathy (DR)) (21, 22, 23, 24, 25), including other models of RD associated with lipid dysregulations such as the Mfp2−/− and Mfsd2a−/− mouse models (9, 26). The gene discussed is HSD17B4; the disease is retinal disorder.
