Abstract excerpt
Inherited retinal degeneration (IRD) are a group of genetically heterogeneous disease of which retinitis pigmentosa (RP) and Leber congenital amaurosis (LCA) are the most common and severe type. In our study we had taken three unrelated South Indian consanguineous IRD families. Homozygosity mapping was done using Affymetrix 250K Nsp1 GeneChip in each of LCA, Cone-Rod dystrophy (CRD) and autosomal recessive RP...
