Main clinical features
  • autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa characterized by constriction of the visual fields, night blindness, and fundus changes, including 'bone corpuscle' lumps of pigment
  • also responsible for a wide phenotypic spectrum of retinal dystrophies as retinitis punctata albescens, cone–rod dystrophy, cone dystrophy, adult vitelliform macular dystrophy, fundus flavimaculatus, pattern dystrophy, and macular dystrophy
  • Genetic determination autosomal dominant

    Remark(s) phenotype might be modulated by additional mutations in other genes (ABCA4 and/or ROM1) accounting for intrafamilial variability and resulting in a cumulative effect worsening the phenotype (PMID: 20335603))
