Figure 5. Pedigree drawing with sequence conservation of the L60 residue of
RPE65.
A: Pedigree drawing of family PKRP160 with haplotypes formed with chromosome 1p markers. Pedigree symbols are described in
Figure 1.
B: Sequence conservation of the L60 residue in other
RPE65 orthologs. Primates are green, placental mammals are blue, and vertebrates are purple. The arrow points to the amino acid
residue L60 that is mutated in individuals affected with retinitis pigmentosa.
