Abstract excerpt
Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) represents a group of inherited human retinal diseases which involve degeneration of photoreceptor cells resulting in visual loss and often leading to blindness. In order to identify candidate genes for the causes of these diseases, we have been studying a pool of photoreceptor-specific cDNAs isolated by subtractive hybridization of mRNAs from normal and photoreceptorless rd mouse...
