Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is an inherited retinal dystrophy that causes loss of vision. Pathogenic variants in proteins involved in RNA splicing are the second most common cause of autosomal dominant RP, with mutations in PRPF31 being the most prevalent. Additionally, mutations in spliceosomal small nuclear RNAs (snRNAs) U4 and U6 have recently been linked to RP.
