Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To describe the clinical and genetic characteristics of three Japanese families with autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa (ADRP) associated with mutations in the PRPF31 gene. DESIGN: Case reports and results of DNA analysis. METHODS: Mutational screening of the PRPF31 gene was performed on 96 unrelated patients with ADRP by direct sequencing. The clinical features were characterized by complete...
