| Disease ID | Source | Name | Description |
| 613464 | OMIM | Retinitis pigmentosa 51 (RP51) | A retinal dystrophy belonging to the group of pigmentary retinopathies. 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. Patients typically have night vision blindness and loss of midperipheral visual field. As their condition progresses, they lose their far peripheral visual field and eventually central vision as well. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. |
| 615985 | OMIM | Bardet-Biedl syndrome 8 (BBS8) | A syndrome characterized by usually severe pigmentary retinopathy, early-onset obesity, polydactyly, hypogenitalism, renal malformation and mental retardation. Secondary features include diabetes mellitus, hypertension and congenital heart disease. Bardet-Biedl syndrome inheritance is autosomal recessive, but three mutated alleles (two at one locus, and a third at a second locus) may be required for clinical manifestation of some forms of the disease. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. |
