Mutation screening in genes known to be responsible for Retinitis Pigmentosa in 98 Small Han Chinese Families

Abstract Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is highly heterogeneous in both clinical and genetic fields. Accurate mutation screening is very beneficial in improving clinical diagnosis and gene-specific treatment of RP patients. The reason for the difficulties in genetic diagnosis of RP is that the ethnic-spe...
