" /> Retinitis pigmentosa 2 - CISMeF





Preferred Label : Retinitis pigmentosa 2;

Symbol : RP2;

CISMeF acronym : RP2;

Type : Phenotype, molecular basis known;

Description : Retinitis pigmentosa is characterized by constriction of the visual fields, night blindness, and fundus changes, including 'bone corpuscle' lumps of pigment. RP unassociated with other abnormalities is inherited most frequently (84%) as an autosomal recessive, next as an autosomal dominant (10%), and least frequently (6%) as an X-linked recessive in the white U.S. population (Boughman et al., 1980). For a phenotypic description and a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of retinitis pigmentosa, see 268000.;
