Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To identify the genetic cause in five families with autosomal recessive retinitis pigmentosa, a genetic disorder involving retinal degeneration and visual loss with high genetic heterogeneity. METHODS: We performed whole-genome single nucleotide polymorphism genotyping on 35 members from the five families to map the region of homozygosity shared by all patients. Whole-genome sequencing was then conducted...
