Overview of Gene Research
Lrit2 is a gene that has been newly discovered to be involved in visual functions. However, no common aliases, associated pathways are mentioned in the given reference. Its discovery emphasizes the importance of genetic models in understanding gene functions in mammalian systems [1].
Through an integrated transcriptome-phenome analysis in mice, >50 genes were predicted to be involved in mouse visual functions, among which Lrit2 was one. Gene-specific morpholinos were introduced into zebrafish to target the orthologs of selected genes. Quantitative assessments of developing eye phenotypes in zebrafish confirmed the predicted eye-related functions of Lrit2, along with 12 other genes out of the 15 examined [1].
In conclusion, Lrit2 is a gene with eye-related functions as revealed through model-based research. The study using zebrafish as a model, based on the integrated analysis in mice, contributes to understanding the functional landscape of genes related to visual functions, providing insights into potential mechanisms underlying eye-related biological processes [1].
