    causes selective defect in the mitochondrial complex I in PD and this defect affects systemic and peripheral tissues too which promotes oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction.

    secondary event resulting from degeneration of rod photoreceptors. In the experiment, scientist use adeno-associated cirus (AAV)-mediated CRISPR/Cas9 delivery to postmitotic photoreceptors to target the Nrl gene which code for Neural retina-specific leucine zipper protein which is integral in determining the fate of the rods during photoreceptor development. When the Nrl gene is disrupted, the rods have a higher survival rate which prevents secondary cone degeneration. This treatment was tested on
