Abstract
Hereditary degenerations and dysfunctions of the retina are an extreme ly heterogeneous group of diseases. This summary deals with recent adv ances in the molecular genetics of a subset of those disorders, namely , those encompassed under the diagnosis 'retinitis pigmentosa'. Over 2 0 loci where mutations cause retinitis pigmentosa have been mapped; th e review focuses on the seven retinitis pigmentosa loci that have been identified.
