The research presented at the meeting, and described in this proceedings volume, reflects a strong emphasis on the molecular genetic approach to understa- ing these disorders.[books.google.de]

The present series includes 14 patients and hence is not large enough to justify one in drawing absolute conclusions. Case 1. —R.[jamanetwork.com]
The retinas contained only scattered cones in the midperiphery; the maculas and far peripheral regions contained reduced numbers of rods and cones with short to absent outer segments.[iovs.arvojournals.org]
Fundus changes may vary from mild pigment granularity to a distinct atrophic lesion in the central macula.[preventiongenetics.com]
In macular degeneration (see Chap. 243 ), cones and rods degenerate in the macula but not elsewhere in the retina.[ommbid.mhmedical.com]
Results: : In families A and B, respectively 2 and 3 affected individuals showed a classic RP phenotype with nightblindness followed by concentric loss of visual field.[iovs.arvojournals.org]
In young patients with the symptom of nightblindness, it is important to differentiate retinitis pigmentosa from stationary nightblindness.[ommbid.mhmedical.com]
Retinitis pigmentosa is characterized by retinalpigment deposits visible on fundus examination and primary loss of rod photoreceptor cells followed by secondary loss of cone photoreceptors.[uniprot.org]

pigment epithelium, or (c) a peculiar sensitivity of the photoreceptors or the retinalpigment epithelium to a generalized metabolic defect.[ommbid.mhmedical.com]
The initial symptoms were photophobia and subsequent visual loss to counting fingers. Ophthalmoscopic features included profound macular atrophy. OCT and AF showed macular photoreceptor degeneration.[iovs.arvojournals.org]
The most common symptoms are photophobia and epiphora in bright light, decreased visual acuity, and dyschromatopsia. Fundus changes may vary from mild pigment granularity to a distinct atrophic lesion in the central macula.[preventiongenetics.com]

Conclusions: : Mutations in the C8orf37 gene give rise to an early-onset or adolescent-onset autosomal recessive cone-rod dystrophy or autosomal recessive retinitis pigmentosa phenotype with early severe macular involvement.[iovs.arvojournals.org]

Currently, there are no effective treatments for this disease.[prnewswire.com]
He cautions that it is too early in the study to address treatment efficacy. Dr. Klassen says that the therapy has two potential advantages over other stem-cell therapies for the retina.[blindness.org]
The prognosis for the recessive and X-linked groups is poor; that is, visual acuity diminishes more rapidly in these patients than in the autosomal dominant group.[link.springer.com]
Prognosis Except for mild cases or sectorial RP, most cases progress to legal blindness (visual acuity 1/20 and visual field 5 degrees). The documents contained in this web site are presented for information purposes only.[orpha.net]
Some investigators have found a general correlation between age-related visual acuity and mode of inheritance , suggesting that autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa has the best prognosis, whereas males with X-linked forms have the worst prognosis[bredagenetics.com]

The study of miRNA biomarkers implicating in pathogenesis, diagnosis and prognosis of retinal degenerations represents a translational topic of increased research interest, especially because miRNAs themselves might be considered as therapeutic targets[omicsonline.org]
The etiology of URP is unknown although several studies regarding genetic causes that resulted in URP have been reported in recent years.[synapse.koreamed.org]
Etiology More than 3,000 mutations in over 57 different genes or loci are currently known to cause non-syndromic RP.[orpha.net]
Etiology and Pathophysiology Mutations in the rhodopsin gene account for 30% of cases of autosomal dominant RP. Another 4–6% of autosomal dominant RP is caused by a mutation in the gene for a photoreceptor protein peripherin/RDS.[unboundmedicine.com]

Summary Epidemiology Prevalence of RP is reported to be 1/3,000 to 1/5,000. No ethnic specificities have been reported although founder effects are possible. Clinical description Retinitis pigmentosa is slowly progressive but relentless.[orpha.net]

The results of our review can serve as a platform for formulating RP-centred health policies and in encouraging the involved countries towards maintaining an epidemiological register.[jpma.org.pk]

Background : Cystoid macular edema (CME) and non-leaking intraretinal cystoid spaces (ICS) have different pathophysiologic mechanisms.[tandfonline.com]
Etiology and Pathophysiology Mutations in the rhodopsin gene account for 30% of cases of autosomal dominant RP. Another 4–6% of autosomal dominant RP is caused by a mutation in the gene for a photoreceptor protein peripherin/RDS.[unboundmedicine.com]

These findings may have important clinical implications in disease management because neurodegenerative pathophysiology may be early present in the course of the disease.[nature.com]
Such knowledge might then be used to design genetic and molecular therapies that prevent, or slow down the disease process.[tcd.ie]
Researchers believe the cells will release proteins that will keep the patient’s existing photoreceptors healthy, preventing their degeneration and preserving vision.[blindness.org]
