Abstract excerpt
Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is a group of retinal dystrophies characterised primarily by rod photoreceptor cell degeneration. Exhibiting great clinical and genetic heterogeneity, RP be inherited as an autosomal dominant (ad) and recessive (ar), X-linked (xl) and digenic disorder. RP25, a locus for arRP, was mapped to chromosome 6p12.1-q14.1 where several retinal dystrophy loci are located. A gene expressed in the...
