Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) constitutes a major cause of blindness and the Retinitis Pigmentosa GTPase Regulator (RPGR) gene accounts for up to 80% of all X-linked RP cases. A novel isoform of RPGR, expressed in the human retina, was identified and characterized. It truncates the Regulator of Chromoso

## Abstract Glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) is the principal component of the intermediary filaments in mature astrocytes of the central nervous system (CNS). The protein consists of three domains: the head, the coiledβcoil, and the tail. Here, we describe the isolation of an evolutionary co
## Abstract Tropomyosins are present in various muscle (skeletal, cardiac, and smooth) and nonβmuscle cells with different isoforms characteristic of specific cell types. We describe here a novel smooth/striated chimeric isoform that was expressed in developing chick heart in addition to the classi
Homozygous In(lO)lTRk mice contain a paracentric inversion within Chromosome (Chr) 10 and exhibit a pygmy phenotype, suggesting that the distal inversion breakpoint is within the pygmy (pg) locus. In order to obtain the pygmy gene by positional cloning procedures, In(10)17Rk DNA was subjected to RFL
