Oral levodopa rescues retinal morphology and visual function in a murine model of human albinism

9 Mar 2019

Abstract excerpt

Albinism is a group of disorders characterized by pigment deficiency and abnormal retinal development. Despite being a common cause for visual impairment worldwide, there is a paucity of treatments and patients typically suffer lifelong visual disability. Residual plasticity of the developing retina in young children with albinism has been demonstrated, suggesting a post-natal window for therapeutic rescue. L-3,...
