A novel mutation in the RDS gene in an Italian family with pattern dystrophy

A novel mutation in the RDS gene in an Italian family with pattern dystrophyThe term ''pattern dystrophy'' (PD) of the retina refers to a group of inherited dystrophies characterised by deposition of abnormal pigment at the level of retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). 1 Several studies have correlated PD with mutations in the RDS gene. 2-7Therefore,
