A Single-Cell Transcriptome Atlas of the Human Retinal Pigment Epithelium
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021 Human retinal pigment epithelium cells are arranged in a monolayer that plays an important supporting role in the retina. Although the heterogeneity of specific retinal cells has been well studied, the diversity of hRPE cells has not been reported. Here,

Familial grouped pigmentation of the retinal pigment epithelium. [PDF]
British Journal of Ophthalmology, 1988 Grouped pigmentation of the retinal pigment epithelium was found in a father and his son. They had a normal resting potential on the electro-oculogram, but the son had a lower normal light rise. We believe this is the first description of familial grouped pigmentation.
