Article Synopsis
- Inherited retinal diseases (IRDs) cause people to lose their vision slowly, and there are over 270 genes that can cause these problems.
- One specific gene, RLBP1, leads to different eye disorders depending on changes in that gene, affecting proteins important for seeing.
- Researchers created a method to treat these disorders using gene therapy, and they discovered a new form of the CRALBP protein that could help improve treatments in both humans and mice.
