Abstract excerpt
Phosducin, a retina-expressed gene mapped to chromosome 1q25-32.1, was analyzed as a candidate gene for retinopathies. The phosducin gene was cloned and characterized, and PCR primers were designed. Eighty-three patients with various retinopathies and 45 control subjects (24 American, 21 Japanese) were analyzed for mutations in the phosducin gene by PCR, denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE), and...
