Serum copper, serum caeruloplasmin, and urinary copper excretion were measured in 38 American patients (and 15 family members) with recessive, dominant, and X-linked forms of retinitis pigmentosa. No abnormalities were found, in contrast to the findings of a recent study on Indian patients. Our data argue against a role for copper metabolism in ordinary retinitis pigmentosa.
对38名患有隐性、显性和X连锁型视网膜色素变性的美国患者（以及15名家庭成员）进行了血清铜、血清铜蓝蛋白和尿铜排泄量的检测。与最近一项针对印度患者的研究结果相反，未发现异常。我们的数据表明铜代谢在普通视网膜色素变性中不起作用。
