Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To determine the full-length sequence of a gene with similarity to RP1 and to screen for mutations in this newly characterized gene, named retinitis pigmentosa 1-like 1(RP1L1). Since mutations in the RP1 gene cause autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa, it is possible that mutations in RP1's most sequence similar relative, RP1L1, may also be a cause of inherited retinal degeneration. METHODS: A...
