X-linked forms of retinitis pigmentosa (XLRP) are among the most severe, because of their early onset, often leading to significant vision loss before the 4th decade. Previously, the RP15 locus was assigned to Xp22, by linkage analysis of a single pedigree with "X-linked dominant cone-rod degeneration." After clinical reevaluation of a female in this pedigree identified her as affected, we remapped the disease to a 19.5-cM interval (DXS1219-DXS993) at Xp11.4-p21.1. This new interval overlapped both RP3 (RPGR) and COD1. Sequencing of the previously published exons of RPGR revealed no mutations, but a de novo insertion was detected in the new RPGR exon, ORF15. The identification of an RPGR mutation in a family with a severe form of cone and rod degeneration suggests that RPGR mutations may encompass a broader phenotypic spectrum than has previously been recognized in "typical" retinitis pigmentosa.

X-linked retinitis pigmentosa (XLRP) accounts for 10-25% of RP families and causes the most severe form of the disease in terms of onset and progression. Although three different loci (RP3, RP2 and RP15) have been proposed on the short arm of the X-chromosome by linkage analysis, RP3 represents the disease locus in the majority of XLRP families. The identification of female carriers of X-linked RP is important for genetic counselling.

To facilitate the positional cloning of the genes involved in retinoschisis (RS), keratosis follicularis spinulosa decalvans (KFSD), Coffin-Lowry syndrome (CLS), X-linked hypophosphatemic rickets (XLH, locus name HYP) and X-linked dominant cone-rod degeneration (locus name RP15), we have extended the molecular map of the Xp22 region. Screening of several YAC libraries allowed us to identify 156 YACs, 52 of which localize between markers DXS414 (P90) and DXS451 (kQST80H1). Analysis of their marker content facilitated the construction of a YAC contig from the region spanning (in this order): DXS414 - DXS987 - DXS207 - DXS1053 - DXS197 - DXS 43 - DXS1195 - DXS418 - DXS999 - PDHA1 - DXS7161 - DXS443 - DXS 7592 - DXS1229 - DXS365 - DXS7101 - DXS7593 - DXS1052 - DXS274 - DXS989 - DXS451.

Retinitis pigmentosa is the name given to a heterogeneous group of hereditary retinal degenerations characterized by progressive visual field loss, pigmentary changes of the retina, abnormal electroretinograms, and, frequently, night blindness. In this study, we investigated a family with dominant cone-rod degeneration, a variant form of retinitis pigmentosa. We used microsatellite markers to test for linkage to the disease locus and excluded all mapped autosomal loci.
