Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To describe genotype and phenotype in a family with autosomal recessive retinitis pigmentosa (arRP) carrying homozygous mutations in the gene for the α-subunit of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP)-hydrolyzing phosphodiesterase 6 (PDE6A). Moreover, to compare their plasma cGMP levels to controls, exploring the possible role for cGMP in RP diagnostics. METHODS: Seven siblings and their parents were...
