29 Jan 2025
Abstract excerpt
X-linked retinitis pigmentosa (XLRP) is a severe inherited retinal degenerative disease characterized by progressive loss of photoreceptors and retinal pigment epithelium, leading to blindness. Predominantly affecting males due to mutations in the RPGR gene, XLRP currently lacks effective treatments beyond supportive care. Gene therapy has emerged as a promising approach to restore photoreceptor function by...
