Abstract excerpt
A six-generation Chinese family with autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa (adRP) was identified and characterized. Genome-wide linkage analysis linked the family to markers D19S601 to D19S605, which span the PRPF31 gene on chromosome 19q13.33-13.43 (RP11) (LOD=5.03). Direct DNA sequence analysis identified a novel splicing mutation (IVS1+1G>T) in affected family members and carriers, but not in unaffected...
