Abstract excerpt
Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is the most frequent form of inherited retinopathy. RP is genetically heterogeneous with autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive and X-linked forms. Autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa (adRP) accounts for about 20-25% of all RP cases. At least ten adRP loci have so far been mapped. However, mutations causing adRP have been identified only in four retina-specific genes: RHO (encoding...
