Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is an inherited degenerative disease, and it is one of the most common IRDs. It often leads to loss of night and peripheral vision.

2023年1月31日 · An inherited retinal dystrophy (IRD) is a genetic eye condition which affects the light sensitive cells in the retina at the back of your eyes, which over time, stops them from working.

2023年7月31日 · Non-syndromic inherited retinal dystrophies (IRDs) such as retinitis pigmentosa or Leber congenital amaurosis generally manifest between early childhood and late adolescence, imposing profound long-term impacts as a result of vision impairment or blindness.

2021年7月13日 · Inherited retinal dystrophies (IRD) are a group of diseases characterized by the loss or dysfunction of photoreceptors and a high genetic and clinical heterogeneity. Currently, over 270 genes have been associated with IRD which makes genetic diagnosis very difficult.

Inherited retinal diseases (IRDs) are also called inherited retinal degenerations or inherited retinal dystrophy. For normal vision, the retina acts like the film in a traditional camera. It is here where the pictures are created, then sent to the brain for interpretation. The retina is the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye.

What is an inherited retinal dystrophy (IRD)? An inherited retinal dystrophy (IRD) is a genetic eye condition which affects the light sensitive cells in the retina at the back of your eyes, which over time, stops them from working.

Luxturna® is a gene therapy for inherited retinal dystrophy caused by two mutations in the gene RPE65.

Common Types of Genetic Eye Disorders . 1. Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP) Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP) is one of the most common inherited eye disorders that affects the retina, the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye. Over time, RP causes the retina to gradually lose its ability to process light, leading to progressive vision loss.
