Retinitis pigmentosa/diabetic retinopathy 

I would like to post a query to  human geneticicists who are collecting  registers of patients with Retinitis pigmentosa.
 1: How many of your patients have IDDM
 2: of these how many have retinopathy?

I am  conducting research on the causation of diabetic retinopathy, and believe that the anoxia in the retina caused by rod activity is an important factor in the development of diabetic retinopathy.
