Message from the Editor-in-Chief
Dear Colleagues, Research in gene augmentation and genome editing for the treatment of inherited retinal disorders (IRDs) is thriving. It is estimated that IRDs affect about 200,000- 300,000 people in the United States and 4-6 million people worldwide. Most patients with these conditions become...
Gene Therapy, Gene Editing, and IRDs
Gene-Augmentation Therapy Gene therapy typically refers to gene-augmentation therapy. In this approach, a healthy version of the mutated gene is packaged inside an engineered and nonpathogenic form of adeno-associated virus (AAV), with the virus serving as a vector to carry the gene. AAV does not...
Gene Therapy for Other Ophthalmic Conditions
Advances in the future may include viral vectors, non-viral vectors, and delivery methods that allow treatment of a greater retinal expanse and an expanded approach to technical challenges related to gene size and disease mechanisms. Genetic therapies for non-retinal ophthalmic diseases are also...
