What is Causing My Inherited Retinal Degeneration - Pathway to Finding Disease Causing Genes

In Light of the first FDA approved gene therapy for an inherited retinal disease, there is a promise for many retinal degenerative diseases. However, since these treatments are gene-specific, this highlights the need to identify the disease-causing genes in each individual as the first step in treatment. 

Located at Shiley Eye Institute, multiple physicians and researchers will provide small group discussions for a more intimate conversation on pathways to finding disease-causing genes.
