The preARVO 2012 satellite meeting will review the latest developments
in
retina ciliopathies including retinitis pigmentosa, Leber congenital
amaurosis, and Usher/Bardet-Biedl syndromes. We will focus on genes
involved in intraflagellar transport, photoreceptor outer segment
morphogenesis, molecular motors and novel animal models that closely
mimic
human ciliopathies. Main emphasis is on human/mouse genetics, next
generation DNA sequencing, proteomics, biochemistry, and cell biology.

CALL FOR POSTERS
Abstract submission deadline 3 February 2012

Abstracts for poster presentations are invited on the following topics.
Please submit abstracts using the online submission system by 3 February
2012. Selected quality posters will be chosen to present a 10 minute
oral
presentation based on their poster and latest results.

Topics
 * Cilia, intraflagellar transport, and disease
* Vesicular trafficking in photoreceptors and RPE
* Intraflagellar transport in photoreceptors
* Photoreceptor disk morphogenesis
* Non-syndromic retinal ciliopathies
