Advancing Therapeutic Strategies for Inherited Retinal Degeneration: Recommendations From the Monaciano Symposium

Over the past 3 decades, global research efforts have unveiled the genetic complexity of the group of rare disorders collectively referred to as retinal dystrophies.  Causative mutations for dozens of retinal dystrophies have now been identified, resulting in the discovery of multiple new genes, biological pathways necessary for photoreceptor cell function, and pathogenetic mechanisms involved…
