Abstract excerpt
Autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa (ADRP) is caused by mutations in two known genes, rhodopsin and peripherin/Rds, and seven loci identified only by linkage analysis. Rhodopsin and peripherin/Rds have been estimated to account for 20-31% and less than 5% of ADRP, respectively. No estimate of frequency has previously been possible for the remaining loci, since these can only be implicated when families are...
