Abstract excerpt
The aim of the study was to identify the genetic background of retinitis pigmentosa in a Polish family with previously excluded involvement of the majority of known genes for this disease, except for the ORF15 exon in the RPGR gene (Xp21.1). ORF15 is a highly repetitive, purine-rich DNA region with a number of different polymorphic variants and thus difficult to study. Genomic DNA was isolated from peripheral...
