Individual components of the ERG waveform (a-wave, composite b - wave,
cone b - wave
and rod b - wave) reveal relative contributions of different retinal cells to the overall
functional activity of the retina.
The photoreceptors of dogs that carry this mutation develop normally, in contrast to those of dogs with XLPRA2,
and remain morphologically
and functionally normal until young adulthood, indicating the C - terminal of the RPGR protein is not essential for
functional and structural differentiation of
rods and cones.
