Abstract excerpt
X-Linked retinitis pigmentosa is a most severe and heterogeneous disorder of the retina. Recently, genes (RP2 and RPGR) from two X-linked loci have been positionally cloned and mutations have been identified in many families. To further evaluate allelic and non-allelic heterogeneity and the genotype--phenotype relationships, and to determine the prevalence of mutations in the gene, we have analyzed one previously...
