Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To review recent advances in the molecular genetics of retinitis pigmentosa with emphasis on the development of genetic markers that aids diagnosis and prognosis. DATA SOURCES AND EXTRACTION: Literature search of MEDLINE from 1988 to 2005 using the following key words: 'retinitis pigmentosa', 'rhodopsin', 'RP1', 'RPGR', and 'genetic counseling'. References of two genes--RHO and RP1--causing retinitis...
