Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is a genetically heterogeneous group of inherited retinopathies. Up to now, 39 genes and loci have been implicated in nonsyndromic RP, yet the genetic bases of >50% of the cases, particularly of the recessive forms, remain unknown. A novel gene (CERKL) has been described as associated with RP26. It encodes a ceramide kinase that is assumed to be involved in sphingolipid-mediated apoptosis in the retina. This is a report of the phenotypes and genotypes of persons carrying disease-causing mutations in CERKL.
