Abstract excerpt
Purpose: The Pakistan Punjab population has been a rich source for identifying genes causing or contributing to autosomal recessive retinal degenerations (arRD). This study was carried out to delineate the genetic architecture of arRD in the Pakistani population. Methods: The genetic origin of arRD in a total of 144 families selected only for having consanguineous marriages and multiple members affected with arRD...
