Homozygous tandem duplication within the gene encoding the β-subunit of rod phosphodiesterase as a cause for autosomal recessive retinitis pigmentosa
1 Jan 1995
Abstract excerpt
Autosomal recessive retinitis pigmentosa (ARRP) is a degenerative disease of photoreceptors in which defects in the rhodopsin and phosphodiesterase beta-subunit (PDEB) loci have been reported. To assess the involvement of PDEB in ARRP families from Spain, we screened a panel of 19 families for linkage to markers within or close to the PDEB gene. Homozygosity was also tested in cases of consanguinity. This...
