TL;DR: The two intragenic deletions, two nonsense and three missense mutations within conserved domains provide evidence that RPGR (retinitis pigmentosa GTPase regulator) is the RP3 gene.
Journal ArticleDOI
Linkage mapping in 29 Bardet-Biedl syndrome families confirms loci in chromosomal regions 11q13, 15q22.3-q23, and 16q21.

TL;DR: Three consanguineous BBS families are homozygous for three adjacent chromosome 15 markers, consistent with identity by descent for this region, and a fourth group of families, estimated at 8%, are unlinked to all three of the above loci, showing that at least one other BBS locus remains to be found.
