Abstract

In this brief commentary, we provide some of our thoughts and opinions on the current and future use of zebrafsh to model human eye disease, dissect pathological progression and advance in our understanding of the genetic bases of microphthalmia, andophthalmia and coloboma (MAC) in humans. We provide some background on eye formation in fsh and conservation and divergence across vertebrates in this process, discuss diferent approaches for manipulating gene function and speculate on future research areas where we think research using fsh may prove to be particularly efective.
