Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the CRB1 gene account for around 10,000 persons with Leber congenital amaurosis (LCA) and 70,000 persons with retinitis pigmentosa (RP) worldwide. Therefore, the CRB1 gene is a key target in the fight against blindness. A proof-of-concept for an adeno-associated virus (AAV)-mediated CRB2 gene augmentation therapy for CRB1-RP was recently described. Preclinical studies using animal models such as...
