X-linked retinoschisis: clinical phenotype and RS1 genotype in 86 UK patients

Abstract excerpt

The mutation spectrum is large and the phenotype variable. AIM: To determine whether there is a correlation between mutation type and disease severity. METHODS: We identified the causative mutation in 86 affected patients and...
