Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: To investigate the genetic defects underlying retinitis pigmentosa (RP) in a Chinese family. METHODS: A Chinese family with RP was recruited. Whole-exome sequencing was conducted to identify potential pathogenic variants, and Sanger sequencing was used for validation. Segregation analysis was performed among family members, and bioinformatics tools were employed to predict the functional impact of the...
