Quantifying mitochondrial stress in LHON patients – an exploratory study of flavoprotein autofluorescence

Abstract Purpose Leber Hereditary Optic Neuropathy (LHON) is a primary mitochondrial disorder, where retinal ganglion cell dysfunction typically leads to sequential blindness. Although targeted gene therapies have shown promise, clinical trials have struggled to show efficacy usi...

AAV8-PDE6B with 3’UTR provides rescue of photoreceptor structure and function in the rd10 mouse model of retinitis pigmentosa

Abstract Retinitis pigmentosa (RP), a leading cause of inherited blindness, results in a subset of cases from phosphodiesterase 6 (PDE6) deficiency. We evaluated a novel gene therapy construct, AAV8-RK- PDE6B -3′UTR, in the rd10 mouse model which has a homozygous missense variant...
