Linkage analysis and mutation screening of the rhodopsin gene in a Chinese Bai family with autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa.

Abstract excerpt

Autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa (adRP) is a common form of RP worldwide. Although rhodopsin (RHO) is the most frequently reported adRP gene in many populations, it has not been detected in patients from the Bai nationality, one of the minority ethnic groups of southwest China. In this study, we used linkage analysis and mutation screening to identify the RHO gene in a Chinese Bai family with adRP. We...
