Epibulbar lipodermoids, preauricular appendages and polythelia in four generations: a new hereditary syndrome?

abstract：PURPOSE:In this study, we aimed to detect mutations in the SLC7A14 cationic transporter gene, which has recently been reported as a causative gene for retinitis pigmentosa (RP), in Japanese patients with autosomal recessive (AR) or sporadic RP. MATERIALS AND METHODS:We included 146 unrelated Japanese patients with AR ...
