title: Familial focal segmental glomerulosclerosis and retinitis pigmentosa: a new association.
abstract: The association of retinitis pigmentosa with renal disease is rare and occurs mainly in two conditions: medullary cystic disease and Bardet-Biedl syndrome; here we describe a case of retinitis pigmentosa with familial focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, which to the best of our knowledge has never been reported previously.
