Hypomorphic CDHR1 variants may result in retinitis pigmentosa with relative preservation of cone function.

CDHR1-associated RP shows a relative preservation of cone function in the presence of a presumed hypomorphic allele and may be considered a hypomorphic disease phenotype. Further work is required to identify modifying factors that determine disease phenotype since macular dystrophy, with relative sparing of rods, may also occur with hypomorphic CDHR1 alleles.
