Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To detect mutations of the retinitis pigmentosa GTPase regulator (RPGR) gene in two Chinese X-linked retinitis pigmentosa families. METHODS: Fragments of exons 1-19 of the RPGR gene were amplified with intronic primers, using genomic DNA as template. The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) products were analysed by single-strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) and direct sequencing. Mutations were...
