Identification of new genetic variants responsible for Stickler Syndrome
The Stickler Syndrome encompasses several genetic diseases, which cause various eye disorders and are difficult to diagnose. For this reason, the objective of this research is to identify all the genes involved in these pathologies in order to improve the process of diagnosis and treatment.
PANDA
A multicenter, double-masked, randomized, dose-ranging trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of conbercept intravitreal injection in subjects with neovascular age-related macular degeneration.
GTSCOPE
A study desease progression in genetically define subjects with geographic atrophy secondary to Age-Related Macular Degeneration
Project history
Mass sequencing of exomes for the identification of new genes and variants responsible for retinal dystrophies
Retinitis pigmentosa, with a prevalence of 1 in 4,000 people and more than one million sufferers worldwide, is the most common retinal dystrophy. These diseases are neurodegenerative and caused by the death of the photoreceptors and cells of the retinal pigment epithelium.
