Challenges and Opportunities in the Genetic Analysis of Inherited Retinal Dystrophies in Africa, A Literature Review

2022-12-27

Abstract excerpt

Inherited retinal dystrophies (IRDs) are a global problem that is largely unaddressed, especially in Africa. Black indigenous Africans are rarely represented in research that develop genetic tests and genetic therapies for IRDs yet their genomes are more diverse. The aim of this literature review is to synthesize information on the IRD genetic research conducted among indigenous black Africans to identify challeng...
