Abstract excerpt
X-linked retinitis pigmentosa (XLRP) results from mutations in a number of loci, including RP2 at Xp11.3, and RP3 at Xp21.1. RP2 and RP3 genes have been identified by positional cloning. RP2 mutations are found in about 10% of XLRP patients. We performed a mutational screening of RP2 gene inpatients belonging to seven unrelated families in linkage with the RP2 locus. SSCP analysis detected three conformation...
