Integrated analysis of RNA-seq data from both Gm20541 and Msx2 mutant retinas indicated that ZNF124 is essential for maintaining normal retinal function by regulating Msx2 transcription, which in turn controls the expression of murine homologues of retinal dystrophy genes Rs1, Pde6g, and Pdc. The gene discussed is RS1; the disease is inherited retinal dystrophy.
