Abstract excerpt
Exon ORF15 is an alternative exon in the retinitis pigmentosa GTPase regulator (RPGR) gene containing a highly repetitive, purine-rich internal region. It constitutes a mutational hot spot giving rise to a group of heterogeneous X-linked retinal disorders. We sought to determine whether non-pathogenic substitutions and sequence length variations in the repetitive sequence have an influence on the risk of...
