PRIMER, PROBE, MICROARRAY FOR DETECTING MUTATION OF EYS GENE, DETECTION KIT HAVING THE SAME, TEST METHOD FOR GENETIC MUTATION RESPONSIBLE FOR RETINITIS PIGMENTOSA AND TEST METHOD FOR GENETIC SENSITIVITY TO RETINITIS PIGMENTOSA

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a primer, probe, microarray for detecting mutation of c.4957-4958InsA, a novel genetic mutation of a gene EYS responsible for retinitis pigmentosa (RP), a test kit having the same, a test method for genetic mutation responsible for RP, and a test method for genetic sensitivity to RP.SOLUTION: Presence or absence of c.4957-4958InsA mutation in the EYS gene is tested in a DNA-containing sample collected from a retinitis pigmentosa patient by using the primer, probe and microarray which can detect c.4957-4958InsA mutation in the EYS gene.
