Abstract excerpt
The human RDS gene, previously mapped to chromosome 6p, encodes a protein found in the outer disc membrane of the photoreceptor cells of the retina. The cDNA sequence of the human gene shows 85% identity with the bovine peripherin gene and the rds (retinal degeneration slow) genes from mouse and rat. Mutations in the RDS gene have recently been implicated in autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa (adRP) in some...
