Protective association of A-T-T haplotype of DMT1 gene against risk of human age-related nuclear cataract.

abstract：:Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP) is a major cause of heritable human blindness with a high genetic heterogeneity. It is characterized by the initial degeneration of rod photoreceptors followed by cone photoreceptors. RP is also a prominent reason of visual impairment, by a global prevalence of 1:4000. RP is usually specified...
