Abstract excerpt
Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is a monogenic disease characterized by irreversible degeneration of the retina. PRPF31, the second most common causative gene of autosomal dominant RP, frequently harbors copy number variations (CNVs), but the underlying mechanism is unclear. In this study, we summarized the phenotypic and genotypic characteristics of 18 RP families (F01-F18) with variants in PRPF31. The prevalence of...
