Eight members of a family with autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa were found to have a cytosine-to-guanine (C-to-G) transversion mutation in the second nucleotide of codon 58 of the rhodopsin gene, causing a substitution of the amino acid arginine for threonine. Five of these individuals were examined clinically. There was a distinct phenotypic expression of the gene defect within this family that included a...
