Exceptional progress has been made during the past two decades in identifying genes
causing inherited retinal diseases such as retinitis pigmentosa. An inescapable
consequence is that the relationship between genes, mutations, and clinical findings has
become very complex. Success in identifying the causes of inherited retinal diseases has
many implications, including a better understanding of the biological basis of vision and
insights into the processes involved in retinal pathology. From a clinical point of view, there …
