Some scoop on the LCA trials. One of the commenters on the blog below had a gene therapy procedure for LCA currently in clinical trials. LCA is a genetic retinal degenerative disease. Once there is one successful gene therapy trial, then it will be extended to different types of rd disease for which there are identified genes. Verdict is still out. If you want to get a genetic test and be added to a registry, contact the Carver Lab at the University of Iowa.
