Abstract excerpt
Mutations in Retinitis pigmentosa GTPase regulator gene (RPGR) are the most common cause of X-linked retinitis pigmentosa (RP). Almost 60% of disease-causing RPGR mutations are located in ORF-15 region which cannot be detected by Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) due to the existence of highly repetitive regions. An Iranian family with a priori diagnosis of autosomal dominant RP was studied by Sanger sequencing of...
