Abstract excerpt

Premature death of rod and cone photoreceptor cells in the human retina leads to severe visual handicaps in affected patients. The two most important groups of retinal dystrophies, macular degeneration and retinitis pigmentosa, differ in primary symptoms and disease progression. Macular degeneration starts in the central retina and progresses towards the periphery. In RP, photoreceptor cell death starts in the...
