Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: We identified genetic mutations and characterized their associated phenotypes in patients with retinitis pigmentosa. METHODS: Patients with retinitis pigmentosa were prospectively examined and screened for genetic mutations. RESULTS: A 46-year-old man with retinitis pigmentosa was found...
