✦ Synopsis


Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is the most common inherited retinal degeneration. A subset of patients with autosomal dominant (ad) RP carry a mutation in the rhodopsin gene. We have identified a new missense rhodopsin mutation. namely A346P, which cosegregates with the disease phenotype in one Spanish family with adRP. Affected individuals in this family show onset 3f the disease with night blindness

Mutations in the rhodopsin gene are reported to be responsible for approximately 25% of all cases of autosomal dominant Retinitis pigmentosa (adRP). Affected individuals from a large family with an unusually severe form of adRP were screened for mutations in the rhodopsin gene. Direct sequencing of

More than 100 mutations within the rhodopsin gene have been found to be responsible for some forms of retinitis pigmentosa, a progressive retinal degeneration characterized by night blindness and subsequent disturbance of day vision that may eventually result in total blindness. Congenital stationar
