Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is the most common hereditary dystrophic disease of the retina. About 10% of the affected families show the X-linked trait. The close link observed between the gene locus (RP2) and a polymorphic DNA marker (DXS7) on the proximal short arm of the X-chromosome permits an indirect genotype diagnosis and can be helpful in carrier detection and genetic counseling. A case is presented in which the carrier risk of a female consultant dropped from 50% a priori to less than 2% by the use of clinical findings and DNA analysis.
