Retinitis pigmentosa and erythrocytic microcytosis is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations of the TRNT1 gene. In addition to degeneration of cone photoreceoptor cells this form has the feature of erythrocytic microcytosis. The transition to SIFD syndrome which is caused by mutations in the same gene is fluid.
