Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is an incurable retinal degenerative disease with an unknown mechanism of disease progression. Mer tyrosine kinase (MERTK), which encodes a receptor of the Tyro3/Axl/Mer family of tyrosine kinases, is one of the causal genes of RP. MERTK is reportedly expressed in the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) and is essential for phagocytosis of the photoreceptor outer segment. Here, we established induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) from patients with RP having homozygous or compound heterozygous mutations in MERTK,
