ABSTRACT:
The invention generally provides a method of diagnosing in a human subject an increased likelihood of developing or transmitting to future generations a disease in which a mutant form of a human photoreceptor protein is a causative agent. The method involves analyzing the DNA of the subject to determine the presence or absence of a mutation in a gene for a photoreceptor protein.
