Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To identify the disease-causing gene in a four-generation Chinese family affected with retinitis pigmentosa (RP). METHODS: Linkage analysis was performed with a panel of microsatellite markers flanking the candidate genetic loci of RP. These loci included 38 known RP genes. The complete coding region and exon-intron boundaries of Usher syndrome 2A (USH2A) were sequenced with the proband DNA to screen the...
