Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To define the phenotype of a retinal dystrophy associated with a 4-base pair insertion at codon 140 of the peripherin/RDS gene. PATIENTS: Six affected members spanning two generations of a single family were examined. Five were studied in detail electrophysiologically and psychophysically. METHODS: Psychophysical testing included color vision testing, photopic and scotopic static threshold perimetry,...
