Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To screen mutations in the PRPF31, RHO, and PRPH2 genes in Chinese patients with retinitis pigmentosa (RP). METHODS: Patients with RP were recruited from Retina Hong Kong. All the exons of the PRPF31, RHO, and PRPH2 genes were amplified and screened for mutations using single-stranded conformation polymorphism analysis followed by DNA sequencing. Frequencies of sequence changes were determined in...
