Clin Pediatr (Phila). 1985 Oct;24(10):578-83. doi: 10.1177/000992288502401006.

Abstract

This article reviews several autosomal recessive syndromes characterized by pigmentary retinopathy and, in many, combined with deafness, hypogonadism, and/or mental retardation. These syndromes are manifested in infancy and childhood. Although no specific treatment is available, an early diagnosis can be the first step in initiating symptomative management and preventive measures for the patient and family.
