Distribution of ARRP causative genes and ethnic origin of FAM161A families in the cohort of Israeli patients. (a) FAM161A mutations are the major cause of ARRP in the Israeli population, responsible for ~ 20% of the families with ARRP in our cohort in which the causative gene was identified. Genes that were found in more than 25 families are listed by name and the number of families affected is indicated. (b) Ethnic origin of the 81 FAM161A families in the Israeli cohort.
