Description

Retinal disorders affect millions of individuals worldwide and cause deterioration in vision that often results in blindness. Advances in our understanding of inherited retinal disease now offer new hope for those afflicted. The pathogenetic bases of these conditions are increasingly well understood and gene therapy now offers the possibility that they can be cured.

Written and edited by experts in the field, this new collection from Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Medicine reviews recent work on retinal disorders, examining their prevalence, underlying molecular mechanisms and clinical characteristics, and strategies for diagnosis and treatment. The contributors look back at the history of gene discovery in retinal disease, calculate worldwide carrier rates, and lessons learned from early work in the field. They then discuss experimental systems such as organoids that allow modeling of the pathophysiology and animal models of the disorders.

The authors comprehensively survey the wide variety of gene therapy approaches being taken, cell-based therapies and retinal prostheses. They also cover clinical trial design and outcome measures. This volume will thus be a useful reference for geneticists and neurobiologists working in the vision field, as well as clinicians working on gene therapy and those who must understand and manage disorders of the retina.
