Abstract excerpt
We observed a characteristic shortening of plasma and urinary dolichols in retinitis pigmentosa (RP) patients carrying K42E and T206A mutations in the dehydrodolichol diphosphate synthase (DHDDS) gene, using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. Dolichol-18 (D18) became the dominant dolichol s...
