Progressive RPE atrophy and photoreceptor death in KIZ-associated autosomal recessive retinitis pigmentosa.

Conclusions: RPE atrophy progresses along with a loss of photoreceptors, and parafoveal RPE hypoautofluorescence is commonly seen in KIZ-associated RP patients. KIZ-associated RP is an early-onset severe rod-cone dystrophy. PMID: 32052671 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
