Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: This study aimed to test a newly devised cost-effective multiplex PCR assay for the molecular diagnosis of autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa (adRP), as well as the use of whole-exome sequencing (WES) to detect disease-causing mutations in adRP. METHODS: Genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral blood lymphocytes of index patients with adRP and their affected and unaffected family members. We used a...
