IL1A and retinitis pigmentosa 1: Vitreous levels in rd10 mice, as well as patients with RP, showed increased levels of IL-1β along with reduced visual fields compared to wild type and idiopathic epiretinal membrane patient controls, respectively (22, 22), while there was no change in IL-1α levels in RP patients compared to controls, indicating that IL-1β and the inflammasome may play a role in RP.
