Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To evaluate the mutation prevalence and phenotype in genes involved in the ocular retinoid metabolism. DESIGN: We analyzed LRAT, encoding the lecithin retinol acyltransferase, and RDH10, a retinal pigment epithelium-specific retinol dehydrogenase. METHODS: We screened by denaturing-high performance liquid chromatography (D-HPLC) and direct sequencing all coding exons of LRAT and RDH10 in 216 patients,...
