Hereditary degenerations and dysfunctions of the retina are an extremely
heterogeneous group of diseases. This summary deals with recent advances in
the molecular genetics of a subset of those disorders, namely, those
encompassed under the diagnosis 'retinitis pigmentosa'. Over 20 loci where
mutations cause retinitis pigmentosa have been mapped; the review focuses
on the seven retinitis pigmentosa loci that have been identified.
