Gene mapping of autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa in a Chinese family.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The autosomal dominant form of retinitis pigmentosa (ADRP) can be caused by mutations in 14 genes and further loci remains to be identified. This study was intended to identify mutations in a Chinese pedigree with ADRP. METHODS: A large Chinese family with retinitis pigmentosa was collected. The genetic analysis of the family suggested an autosomal dominant pattern. Microsatellite (STR) markers...
