Table 1

 Summary of clinical features of 21 patients with retinitis pigmentosa included in the study

Patient Figure Age Nyctalopia (years) Visual field loss Bone-spicule pigment Inheritance Other symptoms/signs or genetic marker
MfERGs were performed on all patients apart from case 21. Serial AF images from cases 6, 7, and 21 are shown in figure 9A, B, and C, respectively. Inheritance is shown as dominant (D) or recessive (R) where known. NR, not reported. ND, not detected.
