PURPOSE. To identify the prevalence of rhodopsin (RHO) mutations in French patients with autosomal dominant rod-cone dystrophies (adRPs). Methods. Detailed phenotypic characterization was performed, including precise family history, best corrected visual acuity with the ETDRS chart, slit lamp examination, kinetic and static perimetry, full-field and multifocal electroretinography (ERG), fundus autofluorescence imaging (FAF), and optical coherence tomography (OCT). For genetic diagnosis, genomic DNA of 79 families was isolated by standard
