Abstract excerpt
X-linked retinitis pigmentosa (XLRP) is generally a severe form of retinitis pigmentosa, a neurodegenerative, blinding disorder of the retina. 70% of XLRP cases are due to mutations in the retina-specific isoform of the gene encoding retinitis pigmentosa GTPase regulator (RPGRORF15). Despite successful RPGRORF15 gene replacement with adeno-associated viral (AAV) vectors being established in a number of animal...
