Diagnosing Retinitis Pigmentosa by Determining the Ratio of Dolichol Variants in Plasma or Urine
A reliable, high-throughput, and cost-effective liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry technique for the quantitative measurement of dolichols in blood plasma or urine can unambiguously discriminate patients with retinitis pigmentosa from asymptotic carriers of the disease genes, and carriers from normal individuals.
