This is the first report of molecular genetic analysis of EYS in a cohort of unrelated British and Chinese patients with RP. The results further the initial hypothesis that EYS is a major causative gene for recessive RP and emphasize the role of different types of mutations in disrupting the function of EYS.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
