With a worldwide prevalence of 1 in 4,000, retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is the most common form of hereditary retinal degeneration. More than 30 genes and loci have been implicated in nonsyndromic autosomal-recessive (ar) RP. Genome-wide homozygosity mapping was conducted in one Dutch and one Israeli family affected by arRP. The families were found to share a 5.9 Mb homozygous region on chromosome 2p23.1-p23.3. A...
