Retinitis pigmentosa is an inherited progressive disease which is a major cause of blindness in western communities. It can be inherited as an autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive, or X-linked recessive disorder. In the autosomal dominant form,which comprises about 25% of total cases, approximately 30% of families have mutations in the gene encoding the rod photoreceptor-specific protein rhodopsin. This is the transmembrane protein which, when photoexcited, initiates the visual transduction cascade. Defects in RHO （rhodopsin）are also one of the causes of congenital stationary night blindness.蛋白别名为：RHO; OPN2; Rhodopsin; Opsin-2;基因ID为：6010；蛋白质ID:P08100
