使用多种来源，试图查明1978年6月生活在伯明翰的所有有症状的视网膜色素变性病例。这些方法显示，所有年龄段的患病率为1/4869，45-年龄组的患病率为1/3195。在父母血缘关系密切的年轻穆斯林中，这一比例高于预期。最准确的成人无并发症视网膜炎患病率被认为是在为成人糖尿病患者提供服务的门诊中发现的，即在8000-10,000名临床人口中发现6名患者。
Using multiple sources an attempt was made to ascertain all symptomatic cases of retinitis pigmentosa living in the city of Birmingham in June 1978. These methods revealed a prevalence for all ages of 1 in 4869 and a prevalence in the age group 45-64 yr of 1 in 3195. There was a higher prevalence than expected among young Muslims with consanguineous parents. The most accurate prevalence of uncomplicated retinitis pigmestosa among adults was considered to be that found in an outpatient clinic serving adult diabetics, namely, 6 patients in a clinic population of 8000-10,000.
