Appendix 1. Primers.

Primers used by Australian Genome Research Facility (Brisbane, Australia) for genotyping five or six single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs; rs accession numbers shown) for 28 genes known to cause autosomal recessive retinitis pigmentosa and/or Leber congenital amaurosis. Both forward and reverse primers have a 5′ 10mer tag to alter the mass and is non-binding to the template DNA. Some iPlex extension primers contain 5′ tags to alter the mass of the probe, which are non-binding to the template DNA and are represented by lower case nucleotides. Abbreviations: Tm, primer melting temperature. To access the data, click or select the words “Appendix 1.” This will initiate the download of a compressed (pdf) archive that contains the file.
