Co morbidities in this Arain family are dyslipidemia leading to myocardial infarction in father and grandmother. PEDIGREE 2 PEDIGREE ANALSIS The analysis of the pedigree shows that the 24 year old male proband and his siblings are born to phenotypically normal cousins. As they exhibit no symptoms of degenerating vision or visual impairment hence the mode of inheritance is not X linked (as all males would be affected) or autosomal dominant (where 50% progeny would be affected). Hence it can be concluded that the mode of inheritance is autosomal recessive. The age of onset of RP in the individual was 19 years, clinically diagnosed.
