Molecular assay reagents intended to identify mutations in the peripherin 2 (retinal degeneration, slow) (PRPH2) (formerly RDS) gene, located at chromosome 6p21.2-p12.3, which encodes for a protein that mediates signal transduction events involved in photoreceptor disk morphogenesis. This genetic mutation has been identified in patients with autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa, progressive macular degeneration, macular dystrophy, and digenic retinitis pigmentosa.
