Abstract excerpt
Several mutations in the rhodopsin gene in patients affected by autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa (ADRP) have recently been described. We report four new rhodopsin mutations in ADRP families, initially identified as hetero-duplexed PCR fragments on hydrolink gels. One is an in-frame 12-bp deletion of codons 68 to 71. The other three are point mutations involving codons 190, 211, and 296. Each alters the...
