Table 5. RP1L1 repeat allele frequencies

The 16 amino acid repeat polymorphism was typed in all 60 adRP samples as well as in 60 control DNAs. The number of observed copies of the repeated sequence varies from 1 to 6 in both adRP and control populations. Frequencies were calculated based on the combined 120 individuals.
