ABNORMALITIES IN PLASMA LIPOPROTEIN AND RED BLOOD CELL PHOSPHOLIPIDS IN RETINITIS PIGMENTOSA (RP) DUE TO A ROD PHOTORECEPTOR SPECIFIC GENE DEFECT.

The article presents an abstract of the study "Abnormalities in Plasma Lipoprotein and Red Blood Cell Phospholipids in Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP) Due to a Rod Photoreceptor Specific Gene Defect," which will be presented at the 30th Annual Meeting of the American Society for Neurochemistry to be held from March 14-17, 1999 in New Orleans, Louisiana. The study concludes that systemically detectable lipid abnormalities can occur in RP caused by a photoreceptor gene mutation.
