Retinitis pigmentosa is characterized by retinal pigment deposits visible on fundus examination and primary loss of rod photoreceptor cells followed by secondary loss of cone photoreceptors.

As their condition progresses, they lose their far peripheral visual field and eventually central vision as well. RP86 is an autosomal recessive form. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. |
