Identification of a nonsense mutation at codon 128 of the Norrie's disease gene in a male infant.

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: Norrie's disease (ND) is a rare X-linked hereditary disorder characterized by congenital blindness. A putative gene for ND has been isolated and mapped to Xp11.3. Four point mutations in this gene have been identified recently in patients with ND, thus providing strong evidence that this gene is associated with the disease. We report a new mutation. DESIGN: Clinical findings from the proband were...
