Dr. Shiming Chen (Opthalmology & Visual Sciences – Washington University) has an exciting new study and is recruiting CRX families.

Although the IRD patient population is small compared with other retinal conditions, the research on novel therapeutic approaches is not.

Significant thickness losses could be detected in outer retinal layers by SD-OCT over a 24-month period in patients with PROM1-associated RD

Aim of present study: screen for possible disease‑causing genetic variants in a non‑consanguineous Chinese family with non‑syndromic arRP.

Many genes have been identified for the inherited and highly heterogeneous disorders - some are arRP, adRP and X-linked.

Researchers developed and phenotyped a pigmented knockout rat model for lecithin retinol acyltransferase (LRAT) using CRISPR/Cas9.
