Gene therapy for retinitis pigmentosa.

Abstract excerpt

Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is a group of retinal degenerative diseases in which there is a slow and progressive loss of photoreceptors. There is no cure for RP and photoreceptor loss leads ultimately to blindness. There has been tremendous progress in the last decade in delineating the molecular basis of RP. Simultaneously, gene transfer experiments have demonstrated that it is possible to deliver transgenes to...
