Retinitis Pigmentosa 38; Rp38

Description

Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) describes a group of disorders with progressive degeneration of rod and cone photoreceptors in a rod-cone pattern of dysfunction. RP has a prevalence of 1 in 3,500, and is genetically and phenotypically heterogeneous (summary by Mackay et al., 2010).For a general phenotypic description and a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of retinitis pigmentosa, see {268000}.
