Early Intervention in Gene Therapy: A Lifeline for Retinal Disease
In the world of ocular gene therapy, timing is everything. A recent real-world study from the UK, published by Richard Mark Kirkner, underscores the critical importance of early intervention in children with inherited retinal diseases like retinal diseases like retinitis pigmentosa (RP) and Leber congenital amaurosis (LCA). Younger patients have shown significantly better improvements in vision compared to adults.
The study suggests that the earlier gene therapy is administered, the better the outcomes. This insight is crucial for both clinicians and patients, as it highlights the need for early diagnosis and treatment to maximize the potential benefits of gene therapy.
