摘要
Over the last 15 years, the zebrafish has provided an ideal animal model system to study human ocular disorders. Forward genetic screens have identified a number of mutants that serve as excellent models for coloboma, cataracts, and photoreceptor and RPE pathologies. Ongoing screens in several laboratories, utilizing transgenic strains and more advanced screening techniques, as well as the positional cloning of affected loci in many, as yet, unidentified mutants promises to continue this trend for many years to come. © 2007 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
