Dear Shaik, I really hope it could have been cured. Your question to the list is a very novice and naive one. I just hope you don't have any hopes or expectations attached to your question. However, please read this article which I did share with the list a few days back below:
Gene Therapy Curing X-Linked Retinitis Pigmentosa in Dogs Paves the Way for Similar Treatment in Humans Posted: 19 Mar 2012 05:04 AM PDT Researchers at several universities and laboratories collaborated to treat dogs afflicted with the x-linked form of retinitis pigmentosa, to deliver the therapeutic RPGR gene specifically to the diseased rods and cones. This led to functional and structural recovery, and is the first proof that this condition is treatable in an animal model. The researchers concluded that the results are promising and relevant for translation to humans afflicted with this disease. The results have been published in the journal, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
