Is Retinitis pigmentosa a sex linked disease?

Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) can be sex-linked, particularly the X-linked forms of the condition, which primarily affect males due to the presence of the gene mutation on the X chromosome. However, RP can also be inherited in autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive, and mitochondrial patterns, making it a genetically diverse group of disorders. Therefore, while some forms of RP are sex-linked, not all cases are.
