Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is a rare degenerative retinal disease caused by mutations in approximately seventy genes. Currently, despite the availability of large-scale DNA sequencing technologies, ∼30-40% of patients still cannot be diagnosed at the molecular level. In this study, we investigated a novel intronic deletion of PDE6B, encoding the beta subunit of phosphodiesterase 6 in association with...
