This is natural history study of rods and cones degenerations in patients with Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP) caused by pathogenic mutations in RHO, PDE6a or PDE6b gene mutations.
This is an open, longitudinal, prospective, multicentric study to describe the disease progression in patients with retinitis pigmentosa due to mutation in genes with selective expression in rods: rhodopsin (RHO), phosphodiesterase 6a (PDE6a) or phosphodiesterase 6b (PDE6b).RHO,PDE6A or PDE6B mutation.
