A 66-year-old white man had dominant retinitis pigmentosa. He developed progressive restriction of his visual field, night blindness, pallor of the optic discs, pigmentary retinopathy and posterior subcapsular cataracts. Postmortem examination of the eyes included electron microscopy and biochemical analysis of cyclic nucleotides and interphotoreceptor retinoidbinding protein (IRBP). Except for the fovea and periphery, the retina showed extensive gliosis and neuronal loss with loss of photoreceptor cells. The choriocapillaris was variably occluded in the regions of absent retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). In places, the pigment epithelium invaded the retina to the level of the internal limiting membrane.Biochemical analysis revealed that the interphotoreceptor retinoid-binding protein (IRBP), an important glycoprotein of the interphotoreceptor space, was virtually absent even in retinal areas where photoreceptor cells were still present. Cyclic nucleotide determinations indicated a decrease in the cyclic GMP concentration that reflected the general loss of photoreceptor elements. On the other hand the cyclic AMP levels in all retinal areas tested were abnormally elevated, indicating the possible involvement of this nucleotide in the pathogenesis of the disease.
