title: New strategies in molecular genetic studies of X-linked retinitis pigmentosa.
abstract: New techniques developed in the past few years are being used to isolate the genes responsible for X-linked retinitis pigmentosa. The use of hypervariable probes in linkage, the construction of genetic and physical maps, and the search for putative gene sequences of interest are described.
