The aim is to identify mutations in the RPGR gene among families affected by X-linked retinitis pigmentosa.
Analyzed mutations in 27 independent families with XLRP
Utilized genetic sequencing to identify specific mutations
Focused on families in North America and Chile
Identified five novel mutations in RPGR among five families
Mutations include 160delA, 789 A>T, IVS8+1 G>C, 1147insT, and 1366 G>A
One mutation was found in a Chilean family
