Similar retinitis pigmentosa (RP) phenotypes can result from mutations affecting different rhodopsin regions, and distinct amino acid substitutions can cause different RP severity and progression rates. Specifically, both the R135L and R135W mutations (cytoplasmic end of H3) result in diffuse, severe disease (class A), but R135W causes more severe and more rapidly progressive RP than R135L. The...
