Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The cone-rod homeobox (CRX) gene plays an important role in photoreceptor development. Recently, mutant alleles of the CRX gene have been associated with autosomal dominant Leber congenital amaurosis (LCA) and cone-rod dystrophy. The purpose of this study was to analyze the CRX mutations in a cohort of Chinese patients with LCA or early-onset severe retinal dystrophy (EOSRD) and to provide the...
