Abstract

Dong et al. show that the loss of Lhx4 in mice results in the loss of rod bipolar cells and rod-connecting bipolar cells and in a visual defect resembling human congenital stationary night blindness. Lhx4, together with Isl1, acts upstream of Bhlhe23, Prdm8, Fezf2, and Lhx3 to regulate bipolar cell development.
