Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Phenotypic heterogeneity with variable severity has been reported in female carriers of retinitis pigmentosa GTPase regulator (RPGR) mutations, including a male-type phenotype. A phenomenon not fully understood is peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (pRNFL) thickening in male patients with RPGR-associated X-linked retinitis pigmentosa, especially in the temporal sector. We aim to describe the genetic...
