[Autosomal dominant transmission in retinitis pigmentosa]

The family tree, including 5 generations, of a female patient with typical retinitis pigmentosa has been studied. The transmission was irregular autosomal dominant the gene being manifest for 5 generations both to men and women. The gene penetration was 64%; less than evolution of the illness to bilateral cecity. The case seem to be closely related with the recessive forms of transmission.
