Abstract excerpt
PRPF31, a gene located at chromosome 19q13.4, encodes the ubiquitous splicing factor PRPF31. The gene lies in a head-to-head arrangement with TFPT, a poorly characterized gene with a role in cellular apoptosis. Mutations in PRPF31 have been implicated in autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa (adRP), a frequent and important cause of blindness worldwide. Disease associated with PRPF31 mutations is unusual, in...
