Opis

Forty-four papers from the October 1996 symposium reflect an emphasis on the molecular genetics of retinal degeneration, particularly in the areas of candidate genes, cloning, and mapping. The contributors discuss diagnostic, clinical, cytopathologic, and physiologic aspects of human patients. They
