Abstract excerpt
Purpose: Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is a heterogeneous group of inherited disorders characterized by photoreceptor degeneration. The rhodopsin gene (RHO) is the most frequent cause of autosomal dominant RP (ADRP), yet it remains unclear how RHO mutations cause heterogeneous phenotypes. Energy failure is a main cause of the secondary cone death during RP progression; however, its role in primary rod death induced...
