Novel disease-causing variant in RDH12 presenting with autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa.

This novel heterozygous variant RDH12 c.763delG is associated with a rod-cone dystrophy with variable expression. Determination of the degree of penetrance may depend on the modality employed to phenotypically characterise an individual. This rare and specific heterozygous (dominant) variant is predicted to result in a gain of function, that causes disease in a gene typically associated with biallelic (recessive) variants.
