Dicer is known to be a direct cause of macular degeneration. The absence of Dicer in retinal pigment epithelium causes the eye to break down into macular degeneration. It is hypothesized that Dicer has a specific role in maintaining this retinal health.<ref>PMID: 19836333</ref> | Dicer is known to be a direct cause of macular degeneration.
