<br/><br/> The inherited retinal degenerative diseases are a genetically and phenotypic-ally diverse group of inherited diseases that leads to visual impairment . Retinitis pigmentosa ( RP ) is a major cause of progressive retinal disease . It was found that the rhodopsin gene ( RHO ) represents one of the causative genes for autosomal dominant RP as well as rare cases of autosomal recessive RP
