Abstract excerpt
The gene RPGR was previously identified in the RP3 region of Xp21.1 and shown to be mutated in 10-20% of patients with the progressive retinal degeneration X-linked retinitis pigmentosa (XLRP). The mutations predominantly affected a domain homologous to RCC1, a guanine nucleotide exchange factor for the small GTPase Ran, although they were present in fewer than the 70-75% of XLRP patients predicted from linkage...
