Gene Therapy for Treatment of CRX-Autosomal Dominant Retinopathies

Abstract: Mutations in the cone rod homeobox (CRX) transcription factor lead to distinct retinopathy phenotypes, including early-onset vision impairment in dominant Leber congenital amaurosis (LCA). Adeno-Associated virus (AAV) vector-mediated delivery of a CRX cDNA under the control of a CRX promoter region partially restored photoreceptor phenotype...

Selective estrogen-receptor modulators (SERMs) confer protection against photoreceptor degeneration

Abstract: Retinal degeneration is a deteriorative condition of the human retina caused by the progressive and eventual death of photoreceptor cells. To date, no effective treatment for genetically inherited or age-associated retinal degeneration, which includes a large patient population worldwide, is available. Researchers at the National Eye Institute...
