Abstract excerpt
X-linked retinitis pigmentosa (XLRP) is characterized by progressive vision loss leading to legal blindness in males and a broad severity spectrum in carrier females. Pathogenic alterations of the retinitis pigmentosa GTPase regulator gene (RPGR) are responsible for over 70% of XLRP cases. In the retina, the RPGRORF15 transcript includes a terminal exon, called ORF15, that is altered in the large majority of...
