X-linked female carrier AF image showing the tapetal-like reflex centred on the fovea and patchy peripheral pigmentation. The mosaic picture is due to random X-inactivation generating clones of normal or degenerate photoreceptors. Since as with males, the degeneration takes time to manifest, a clearer X-linked carrier phenotype will generally be seen on the mothers of affected men rather than their daughters.
