Mutations in the rhodopsin gene were studied in 23 unrelated Spanish patients with sporadic retinitis pigmentosa (RP). A codon 160 Thr C-->A transition was found in 4 of the 23 patients vs. none of the 159 controls (p < 0.001) suggesting that this mutation may be an informative marker in RP.
对23名患有散发性视网膜色素变性(RP)的非亲属西班牙患者的视紫红质基因中的突变进行了研究。在23名患者中的4名患者中发现了密码子160的苏氨酸C→A转换,而在159名对照者中均未发现(p < 0.001),这表明该突变可能是RP中的一个有用标记。
