Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To investigate functional abnormalities in mutations in the peripherin (RDS) gene leading to different clinical types of autosomal dominant retinal disease--macular degeneration and retinitis pigmentosa. METHODS: Patients from two families, one with a mutation in codon 167 (Gly167Asp) leading to macular degeneration and another with a mutation in codon 210 (Pro210Ser) leading to retinitis pigmentosa,...
