Retinitis pigmentosa 86

Summary

Retinitis pigmentosa-86 (RP86) is characterized by night blindness followed by progressive narrowing of visual fields and decline in visual acuity, with typical findings of RP on fundus examination, including attenuated retinal vessels, waxy pallor of the optic disc, and bone spicule-like pigmentation (de Bruijn et al., 2018). For a general phenotypic description and a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of retinitis pigmentosa, see 268000. [from OMIM]
