Abstract excerpt
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the disease-causing mutations for retinitis pigmentosa (RP) patients and function of mutations. Methods: We recruited RP families and sporadic RP patients, and performed whole-exome sequencing (WES) to screen for sequence variations. Subsequently, we investigated the expression of green fluorescent protein (GFP) merged expression vectors containing PRPF31 wild...
