Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To determine the phenotypes of two families in which retinitis pigmentosa cosegregates with a rhodopsin (RHO) gene mutation: a leucine-to-arginine change at codon 40 (Leu-40-Arg) in one family, and a 150-base pair insertion that disrupts the RHO 5'-splice junction of exon 5 in another. PATIENTS: Three affected members of each family. RESULTS: The Leu-40-Arg mutation was associated with the onset of...
