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.
