Abstract excerpt
Six members of a family with autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa were found to have a cytosine-to-thymine transition mutation in the second nucleotide of codon 17 in the rhodopsin gene that resulted in a threonine to methionine change. Three members from another family with autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa showed a guanine-to-adenine transition mutation in the first nucleotide of codon 182 in the...
