Synonym: RP61
 
Gene (location): CLRN1 (3q25.1)

OMIM®: 614180

Definition

Retinitis pigmentosa-61 (RP61) is an autosomal recessive photoreceptor degenerative disorder initially characterized by impairment of night vision and midperipheral visual field loss. Bone spicule pigmentation in the retinal periphery is present, and loss of rod function is detected by electroretinography (ERG) (Khan et al., 2011). For a general phenotypic description and a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of retinitis pigmentosa (RP), see 268000. [from OMIM]

Visual impairment
MedGen UID:
777085
•Concept ID:
C3665347
•
Finding
Visual impairment (or vision impairment) is vision loss (of a person) to such a degree as to qualify as an additional support need through a significant limitation of visual capability resulting from either disease, trauma, or congenital or degenerative conditions that cannot be corrected by conventional means, such as refractive correction, medication, or surgery.

Undetectable light- and dark-adapted electroretinogram
MedGen UID:
867212
•Concept ID:
C4021570
•
Finding
Absence of the combined rod-and-cone response on electroretinogram.
See: Feature record | Search on this feature
Rod-cone dystrophy
MedGen UID:
1632921
•Concept ID:
C4551714
•
Disease or Syndrome
An inherited retinal disease subtype in which the rod photoreceptors appear to be more severely affected than the cone photoreceptors. Typical presentation is with nyctalopia (due to rod dysfunction) followed by loss of mid-peripheral field of vision, which gradually extends and leaves many patients with a small central island of vision due to the preservation of macular cones.
