Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Choroideremia (CHM) is an X-linked retinal degenerative disorder caused by mutations in the CHM gene. The mutations result in malfunction of the Rab escort protein 1 (REP-1). In this study, mutational analysis of the CHM gene was performed on five Chinese families clinically diagnosed with CHM. METHODS: Denaturing high performance liquid chromatography was used for mutation screening for all 15 exons and...
