Gene Therapy for Leber Congenital Amaurosis

open access: yes, 2007
The first AAV-mediated RPE gene therapy to restore visual function was obtained in a canine model of Leber Congenital Amaurosis (LCA), a severe form of autosomal recessive, childhood-onset retinal dystrophy 1;2.

Gene therapy for Leber congenital amaurosis: advances and future directions

open access: yes, 2012
Leber congenital amaurosis (LCA) is a congenital retinal dystrophy that results in significant and often severe vision loss at an early age. Comprehensive analysis of the genetic mutations and phenotypic correlations in LCA patients has allowed for ...

CRISPR/Cas9-mediated generation of two isogenic CEP290-mutated iPSC lines

open access: yesStem Cell Research
CEP290 is an important human disease gene, as mutations are implicated in a broad spectrum of autosomal recessive ciliopathies, including Leber congenital amaurosis and Joubert, Meckel, Senior-LØken or Bardet Biedl syndromes.

Mutations in NMNAT1 cause Leber congenital amaurosis with early-onset severe macular and optic atrophy

open access: yes, 2012
International audienceIn addition to its activity in nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) synthesis, the nuclear nicotinamide mononucleotide adenyltransferase NMNAT1 acts as a chaperone that protects against neuronal activity–induced degeneration ...

RDH12, a retinol dehydrogenase causing Leber's congenital amaurosis, is also involved in steroid metabolism.

open access: yes, 2007
Three retinol dehydrogenases (RDHs) were tested for steroid converting abilities: human and murine RDH 12 and human RDH13. RDH12 is involved in retinal degeneration in Leber's congenital amaurosis (LCA).

Leber congenital amaurosis in siblings with diffuse dysmyelination

open access: yes, 1991
Two brothers are described with the previously unrecognized combination of Leber amaurosis and abnormal myelin detected by magnetic resonance imaging. Both have evidence of delayed psychomotor development and one has autistic features.
