Several genes and loci have been shown to be involved in the disease, although each of them only accounts for a few cases. Mutations in the gene encoding ROM1, a rod-specific protein, have been putatively associated with several forms of RP. Here we describe a double-mutant allele of this gene, P60T and T108M,...
