Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To identify mutations in the RPGR and RP2 genes from Chinese families with X-linked retinitis pigmentosa (XLRP). MATERIALS AND METHODS: DNA fragments-encompassing coding exons and adjacent intronic regions of RPGR and RP2-were analyzed by cycle sequencing. RESULTS: Three mutations (ORF15 + 483_484delGA, ORF15 + 652_653delAG, and ORF15 + 650_653delAGAG) in RPGR were identified in four families with XLRP,...
