Özet

Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) refers to a heterogeneous group of inherited ocular diseases that result in a progressive retinal degeneration. Due to the genetic heterogeneity of RP, 76 different forms have been described till now. Also, autosomal recessive, dominant and X-linked inheritance has also been reported. A major indication for use of whole exome sequencing (WES) in the molecular diagnosis of patients depends on the genetic heterogeneity.
