Similarly, in a US study, involving three IRD pedigrees, each given an initial diagnosis of RP, one with a dominant RP and the other two with a dominant, incompletely penetrant RP, it was found that multiple IRD genes were responsible for various affected individuals in each of the three families: both USH2A and RP1 was segregating in one family; PRPH2 and CRX in a second family and PRPH2, PRPH8 and USH2A in the third family [85]. Here, USH2A is linked to retinitis pigmentosa 1.
