Causes

Retinitis pigmentosa can be classified according to its inheritance pattern: autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive, and X-linked. Typically, in all forms of retinitis pigmentosa, the retinal rods slowly deteriorate. Clumps of pigment resembling bone corpuscles aggregate in the peripheral region of the retina and later involve the macular and peripheral areas. Visual symptoms usually appear between ages 10 and 30, though some children may become blind within the first year of life. Retinitis pigmentosa affects 1 of every 4,000 people in the United States.
