Retinal gene therapy with a large MYO7A cDNA using adeno-associated virus. [PDF]
Usher 1 patients are born profoundly deaf and then develop retinal degeneration. Thus they are readily identified before the onset of retinal degeneration, making gene therapy a viable strategy to prevent their blindness.

Comparaison des coûts du diagnostic moléculaire des rétinites pigmentaires entre le séquençage selon Sanger et un séquençage à haut débit [PDF]
La rétinite pigmentaire (RP) et l'amaurose congénitale de Leber (LCA) sont deux maladies héréditaires classées dans le groupe des rétinopathies pigmentaires. Plus de 100 gènes ou loci ont étés identifiés dans les RP (comptant pour 60% des patients) et 14

Harnessing the Potential of Human Pluripotent Stem Cells and Gene Editing for the Treatment of Retinal Degeneration [PDF]
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: A major cause of visual disorders is dysfunction and/or loss of the light-sensitive cells of the retina, the photoreceptors. To develop better treatments for patients, we need to understand how inherited retinal disease mutations ...

R91W mutation in Rpe65 leads to milder early-onset retinal dystrophy due to the generation of low levels of 11-cis-retinal [PDF]
RPE65 is a retinal pigment epithelial protein essential for the regeneration of 11-cis-retinal, the chromophore of cone and rod visual pigments. Mutations in RPE65 lead to a spectrum of retinal dystrophies ranging from Leber's congenital amaurosis to ...

Using Stem Cells to Model Diseases of the Outer Retina
Retinal degeneration arises from the loss of photoreceptors or retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). It is one of the leading causes of irreversible blindness worldwide with limited effective treatment options.

In conditions of limited chromophore supply rods entrap 11-cis-retinal leading to loss of cone function and cell death [PDF]
RPE65 is a retinoid isomerase required for the production of 11-cis-retinal, the chromophore of both cone and rod visual pigments. We recently established an R91W knock-in mouse strain as homologous animal model for patients afflicted by this mutation in
