Our study shows a family with PM and RP due to a mutation in the MFRP gene. The relationship has previously been proven, but this specific mutation has never been described. These gene mutations show wide phenotypic variability, being evident in the presence of foveoschisis, retinal and choroidal folds, and FH, other than PM and RP.
