Assignment of the beta-subunit of rod photoreceptor cGMP phosphodiesterase gene PDEB (homolog of the mouse rd gene) to human chromosome 4p16
Abstract
The gene encoding the beta-subunit of rod photoreceptor cGMP phosphodiesterase (gene symbol PDEB, homolog of the mouse rd gene) is mapped to human chromosome 4 using somatic cell hybrids and further localized to the chromosome band 4p16 using in situ hybridization. A mutation in the mouse gene underlies the recessive trait of retinal degeneration in the rd mouse. Thus, the human homolog is a candidate for lesions causing retinal degeneration.
