Gene Therapy Reforms Photoreceptor Structure and Restores Vision in <i>NPHP5</i> -associated Leber Congenital Amaurosis
2020-10-08
Abstract excerpt
The inherited childhood blindness caused by mutations in NPHP5 , a form of Leber congenital amaurosis, results in abnormal development, dysfunction and degeneration of photoreceptors. A naturally occurring NPHP5 mutation in dogs results in a phenotype that very nearly duplicates the human retinopathy in terms of the photoreceptors involved, spatial distribution of degeneration and the natural history of vision l...
