Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To evaluate phenotypes caused by different RLBP1 mutations in autosomal recessive retinitis pigmentosa of Bothnia type. METHODS: Compound heterozygotes for mutations in the RLBP1 gene [c.677T>A]+[c.700C>T] (p.M226K+p.R234W), n = 10, aged 7-84 years, and homozygotes c.677T>A (p.M226K), n = 2, aged 63 and 73 years, were studied using visual acuity (VA), low-contrast VA, visual fields (VFs) and optical...
