Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To identify possible mutations in known candidate genes in patients with autosomal recessive (ar) and simplex retinitis pigmentosa (RP), by using an established strategy of flexible, multiplexed, microsatellite-based homozygosity mapping. METHODS: A total of 78 microsatellite markers corresponding to 16 genes known to be responsible for arRP were selected and used in 18 multiplex amplifications, followed...
