Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is a general term used to refer to a group of related inherited diseases typically characterized by poor vision in dim light, constricted visual fields, bone spicule-like pigmentation of the fundus, and electroretinographic evidence of photoreceptor cell dysfunction. These diseases can be inherited as an autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive, or X-linked recessive trait. Mitochondrial inheritance has also been described, often as part of a syndrome. It has been estimated that RP affects approximately 1 in 3700 people in the United States. Inherited retinopathies affect approximately 1 in 2000 individuals worldwide. Approximately 20% of these cases are autosomal dominant,and 6%to 9% are X-linked. The remaining 71% to 84% are either autosomal recessive or isolated “simplex” cases. The latter may represent autosomal recessive disease, a new autosomal dominant mutation,or an environmental phenocopy. In the United Kingdom, X-linked RP appears to be more common than in the United States.
