  • Pathogenic variants significantly enriched in unsolved patients with RP as compared with the general population are shown. P values were calculated by the one-sided binominal test. Bonferroni correction was applied to control false positives (α<6.58×10−4). Chromosomal positions are based on Build 37 (hg19).
