Abstract
More than 70 genes (over 3000 mutations) are known to cause non-syndromic retinitis pigmentosa (RP), including autosomal dominant (AD), autosomal recessive (AR), X-linked, and simplex forms (inheritance not known). The AD form accounts for approximately 15–25% of cases; AR, 5–20%; X-linked, 5–15%; and simplex, 40–50%.
