Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the cone-rod homeobox gene (CRX) are associated with cone-rod dystrophy (CORD), Leber congenital amaurosis (LCA), and, in rare cases, retinitis pigmentosa (RP). In this study, three variations were detected in 3 of 130 families with CORD, including two novel mutations, c.239A>G (p.Glu80Gly) and c.362C>T (p.Ala121Val). So far, 49 mutations in CRX were reported, affecting about 2.35% of LCA, 4.76% of...
