Unravelling the genetic basis of simplex Retinitis Pigmentosa cases

The journal Scientific Reports has published a report about retinitis pigmentosa. Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP) is the most common form of inherited retinal dystrophy (IRD) characterized ultimately by photoreceptors degeneration. Exhibiting great clinical and genetic heterogeneity, RP can be inherited as an autosomal dominant (ad), autosomal recessive (ar) and X-linked (xl) disorder. The full-text report you can find here.
