Mutations in the ORF15 region of RPGR account for approximately half of all X-linked retinitis pigmentosa cases. However, a robust high-throughput method for the detection of ORF15 mutations has yet to be validated. We set out to develop the first clinically validated next-generation sequencing (NGS) method for the detection of mutations in this difficult-to-sequence region, including test accuracy and coverage data.
