A Novel Recessive RPGRIP1 Mutation Causing Leber Congenital Amaurosis
Background: Leber congenital amaurosis is an early-onset childhood severe retinal dystrophy, of significant genetic heterogeneity. RPGRIP1 is ubiquitously expressed, but mutations in RPGRIP1 lead to a retina-restricted phenotype, such as Leber congenital

Abstract Prime editing, a novel clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)‐based technology, fuses a reverse transcriptase (RT) to an engineered CRISPR‐associated protein 9 (Cas9) and uses a prime editing guide RNA (pegRNA)‐encoded template.

Abstract Purpose Inherited retinal diseases (IRDs) are a clinically and genetically heterogeneous group of disorders, with ~30% of cases remaining genetically unsolved. Complete congenital stationary night blindness (cCSNB) is a subtype of IRD, usually associated with reduced visual acuity, nystagmus and high myopia.

Exploring fundus‐controlled mesopic and scotopic perimetry in inherited retinal disease
Abstract Purpose Microperimetry is increasingly used as an outcome measure in clinical trials for retinal disease. This study compares mesopic and scotopic microperimetry in a heterogeneous cohort of patients with inherited retinal disease to assess their suitability as clinical trial outcome measures and to determine the most appropriate testing ...

Techniques for subretinal injections in animals
Abstract Subretinal injections are not commonly performed during clinical treatment of animals but are frequently used in laboratory animal models to assess therapeutic efficacy and safety of gene and cell therapy products. Veterinary ophthalmologists are often employed to perform the injections in the laboratory animal setting, due to knowledge of ...

Neurological disorders are hard to treat. Stem cell‐derived neural organoids enable research, and their transplantation aids CNS therapy, with this article reviewing relevant advances, challenges and prospects. ABSTRACT Neurological disorders are often devastating and notoriously difficult to repair, creating an urgent need for novel research models ...

A defective structural zipper in photoreceptors causes inherited blindness
Being able to see the beauty of this world is a wonderful thing unfortunately unavailable to people with inherited blindness. In this issue of PLOS Biology, Mercey and colleagues present optimized expansion microscopy for retinal tissue, which represents
