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 f

## Abstract Retinitis pigmentosa is the most common form of hereditary retinal degeneration, with a worldwide prevalence of 1 in 4,000. At least 28 genes and loci have been implicated in nonsyndromic autosomal recessive retinitis pigmentosa. Here we report two extended and highly consanguineous fam
Hereditary spastic paraplegias (HSP) comprise a genetically and clinically heterogeneous group of neurodegenerative disorders characterised by progressive spasticity and hyperreflexia of the lower limbs. Autosomal dominant hereditary spastic paraplegia linked to the SPG3A locus on chromosome 14q11-2
We have recently identified SLC25A13 on chromosome 7q21.3 as the gene responsible for adultonset type II citrullinemia (CTLN2) and found seven mutations in the SLC25A13 gene of CTLN2 patients. Most recently, the SLC25A13 mutations have been detected in neonatal/infantile patients with a type of neon
