Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Among the 500 ABCA4 mutations identified so far in the retina-specific ABC transporter (ABCA4) gene, only 20 have been described in patients with autosomal recessive retinitis pigmentosa (arRP). In this study the gene was screened for mutations in a cohort of 25 patients of Spanish origin, to further assess ABCA4 involvement in retinal dystrophies. METHODS: The 50 exons of the ABCA4 gene have been...
