There have been a number of histopathologic studies of retinas that were taken post mortem from patients with retinitis pigmentosa (RP), but few have addressed the question of transneuronal degeneration of ganglion cells secondary to photoreceptor death. We studied sectioned maculae that were obtained from 41 patients with different genetic forms of RP: autosomal dominant (n=11); X-linked (n=9); and simplex (n=21). We also studied sectioned maculae that were taken from 20 age-matched normal subjects. We counted cell bodies in the photoreceptor and ganglion cell layers at 1 00-mum (0.35-degrees) intervals from the foveola to 1500-mum eccentricity and compared the mean cell counts among each group with RP. Each RP type had significantly fewer (P
