Identification of a novel RPGR mutation associated with X-linked cone-rod dystrophy in a Chinese family

Abstract Background Cone-rod dystrophy (CORD) is a group of inherited retinal dystrophies, characterized by decreased visual acuity, color vision defects, photophobia, and decreased sensitivity in the central visual field. Our study has identified a novel pathogenic variant associated with X-linked...
