Mutations in the rhodopsin gene are reported to be responsible for approximately 25% of all cases of autosomal dominant Retinitis pigmentosa (adRP). Affected individuals from a large family with an unusually severe form of adRP were screened for mutations in the rhodopsin gene. Direct sequencing of exon 5 revealed a TAA to GAA transversion at nucleotide 5276/codon 349, which was confirmed by Dde1 restriction...
