Abstract excerpt
Retinitis pigmentosa was investigated with molecular genetic techniques, to identify gene abnormalities and to obtain a better understanding of the mechanism of retinal degeneration. First, a search for candidate genes was performed focusing on rhodopsin, peripherin/RDS, and phosducin genes, usin...
