Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: A large family with 11 males and 2 females with X-linked retinitis pigmentosa (XLRP) was analyzed in search of pathologic mutations. METHODS: Of the two major XLRP genes, RPGR was analyzed by SNP cosegregation and RP2 was directly screened for mutations. The pathogenicity of a new variant was assessed in silico, in vivo, and in vitro. RESULTS: The results of cosegregation analysis with SNPs closely...
