Birch, Gerald A. Fishman, Dennis R. Hoffman, George Inana, Samuel G. Jacobson, Maria A. Musarella, Paul A.

Figure 1 A, Genomic sequence showing a 19-bp deletion in exon 11 of the RPGR gene in patient A567 (family XLRP-236). For comparison, the uninterrupted sequence in an unaffected individual is also shown. B, PCR-amplified products of RPGR exon 11, showing segregation of the 19-bp deletion in the XLRP-236 family. A smaller product is observed in two affected brothers (blackened squares) and their heterozygous mother (circle with a black dot), whereas the unaffected male sibling (unblackened square) shows the product of correct size.

Figure 2 Schematic diagram of the RPGR cDNA, showing distribution of mutations identified in this report and others (Meindl et al. 1996; Roepman et al. 1996). Putative functional domains in the RPGR protein are indicated. The number of observed mutations/total number of families studied is given in parentheses, next to the reference.
