Retinitis pigmentosa Dr Trisha Macnair Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is the name given to a group of hereditary diseases of the retina - the light sensitive tissue in the back of the eye. About 25,000 families in the UK are affected. In this article How's the retina affected? Genetic influences Further help How's the retina affected? In these conditions the retina slowly degenerates and gradually loses its ability to transmit images to the brain, resulting in a progressive loss in vision. Cells from the pigmented layer of the retina migrate into the nerve cell containing layer, causing a typical pattern of black or brown star shapes in the retina that give the diseases their name. Symptoms usually become apparent between the ages of ten and 30 (although they develop much earlier in life in some types of RP, and much, much later in others). Visual loss may be slow or rapid. Often the first symptom is night blindness followed by a narrowing of side vision leading to 'tunnel' vision. In one type of RP the loss of vision begins in the central area (macular dystrophy) interfering with reading and detailed work. There may be associated syndromes such as Usher syndrome (hearing and sight loss). Genetic influences Dozens of different gene mutations that may lead to RP have been described. The condition results from inheriting one or two of these abnormal genes, depending on the type of RP.

Go Back to The Archives Page. This information is from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) Hereditary Hearing Impairment Resource Registry (HHIRR). About 3-6 percent of all deaf children and perhaps an equal number of hard-of-hearing children have Usher syndrome (US), which itself is more than one genetic condition. On the basis of clinical findings, at least three types exist . Gene localization studies show that one clinical type may be due to several different genes located on different chromosomes. The most important clinical distinctions are based on the differences in hearing and balance. The retinitis pigmentosa (RP) may look the same even to an experienced eye doctor except that the symptoms can begin earlier in Type I. Usher syndrome is one of several conditions in which both hearing loss and retinitis pigmentosa are present. In this article, the symptoms of RP and the various forms of Usher syndrome will be discussed. Suggestions will be given on where to go for further diagnosis and information.

They tend to become apparent between age 10 and 30, although some types of retinitis pigmentosa occur in childhood or later in life. Vision changes include night blindness, loss of side vision, and "tunnel vision.” The most common symptom of retinitis pigmentosa is a personal history of visual problems at dusk or in low light. This problem cannot be helped by corrective lenses, however, because the retina itself is deteriorating. Your B.C. Optometrist can help you adapt to living with retinitis pigmentosa.

Courtesy NIH National Eye Institute The same view with tunnel vision from retinitis pigmentosa Retinitis pigmentosa , or RP , is a genetic eye condition. Generally, night blindness precedes tunnel vision by years or even decades. Many people with RP do not become legally blind until their 40s or 50s and retain some sight all their life. Others go completely blind from RP, in some cases as early as childhood. Progression of RP is different in each case. RP is a group of inherited disorders in which abnormalities of the photoreceptors rods and cones ) or the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) of the retina lead to progressive visual loss. Affected individuals first experience defective dark adaptation or nyctalopia (night blindness), followed by constriction of the peripheral visual field and, eventually, loss of central vision late in the course of the disease. Contents Signs Diagnosis Treatment External links ... edit Signs Mottling of the retinal pigment epithelium with bone-spicule pigmentation is typically pathognomonic for retinis pigmentosa. Other ocular features include waxy pallor of the optic nerve head, attenuated retinal vessels, cellophane maculopathy, cystic macular edema, and posterior subcapsular cataract.

Three forms of biological treatment are being developed at the Institute of Ophthalmology, namely the use of drugs to delay cell death, gene therapy and cell transplantation. The progressive nature of retinal degenerations, and the ability to make the diagnosis genetically before any visual impairment has become apparent, make it possible to intervene earlier and prevent the loss of rods and cones. In experimental systems we are exploring different ways of achieving this. The closest to application in patients is the use of so-called survival factors, which are injected into the eye on a monthly basis. Additionally, other drug-based strategies are being examined. As retinal degenerations have a genetic basis we have a large programme designing ways of replacing defective genes with those that function normally. Delivering the gene to the right group of cells, installing it and then ensuring it is controlled properly whilst not causing any serious side effects, is a colossal challenge. However, the potential benefits are so great that the considerable investment of time and money that will be required will be well worthwhile. One day it may be possible to replace degenerated rods and cones by transplantation and early studies are in progress to explore this exciting possibility. More immediately, transplantation is likely to have a role in the delivery of factors that will aid the survival of photoreceptors.

Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is the name given to a group of inherited eye diseases that affect the retina (the light-sensitive part of the eye). RP causes the breakdown of photoreceptor cells (cells in the retina that detect light). Photoreceptor cells capture and process light helping us to see. As these cells breakdown and die, patients experience progressive vision loss. The most common feature of all forms of RP is a gradual breakdown of rods (retinal cells that detect dim light) and cones (retinal cells that detect light and color). Most forms of RP first cause the breakdown of rod cells. These forms of RP, sometimes called rod-cone dystrophy, usually begin with night blindness. Night blindness is somewhat like the experience normally sighted individuals encounter when entering a dark movie theatre on a bright, sunny day. However, patients with RP cannot adjust well to dark and dimly lit environments. Top of page What are the symptoms of Retinitis Pigmentosa?
