Recent reports have linked numerous point mutations in the human genome to retinitis pigmentosa (RP), suggesting that in the near future molecular biology based genetic counselling for patients with RP might become a reality. In this paper we assess the viability of a DNA-based screening method for RP. Specifically, we screened rhodopsin and the beta-subunit of phosphodiesterase (B-PDE) genes for the presence of abnormalities in West Australian RP patients.;;Blood was collected from 27… Continue
