Abstract excerpt
Mutations in almost 200 genes are associated with hereditary retinal diseases. Of these diseases, retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is the most common and is genetically and clinically highly heterogeneous. At least 62 genes are associated with RP and mutations in these genes account for approximately half of the cases of disease. In the present study, mutations in the CHM gene, which are known to associate with...
