Abstract excerpt
Autosomal recessive retinitis pigmentosa (arRP) is the commonest form of RP worldwide. To date 22 loci have been implicated in the pathogenesis of this disease; however none of these loci independently account for a significant proportion of recessive RP. Linkage studies of arRP in consanguineous families have been mainly based on homozygosity mapping, but this strategy cannot be applied in the case of...
