Leber congenital amaurosis/early-onset severe retinal dystrophy: current management and clinical trials

Malena Daich Varela et al.

Summary: Current research focuses on genetic therapies for Leber congenital amaurosis (LCA) and various clinical trials are ongoing globally to achieve better outcomes. Gene therapy, cell therapy, and pharmacological approaches show potential for the treatment of LCA, with advancements in techniques like CRISPR-mediated gene editing and antisense oligonucleotides providing new possibilities.

Disease expression caused by different variants in the BEST1 gene: genotype and phenotype findings in bestrophinopathies

Katarzyna Nowomiejska et al.

Summary: This study analyzed the spectrum of clinical features and molecular genetic data in patients with likely disease-associated variants in the BEST1 gene. It was found that genotype does not always predict phenotype, but having two mutations in the BEST1 gene causes a more severe phenotype. Most observed eyes did not progress functionally during the follow-up period.

CLINICAL CHARACTERISTICS AND NATURAL HISTORY OF RHO-ASSOCIATED RETINITIS PIGMENTOSA A Long-Term Follow-Up Study

Xuan-Thanh-An Nguyen et al.

Summary: By reviewing medical charts of 100 patients with autosomal dominant RHO-associated RP, the study found significant differences in disease progression between patients with generalized RP phenotype and those with sector RP phenotype in terms of central visual field, suggesting that the optimal window for intervention should be before the 5th decade of life. The study also suggests that the PR + RPE complex could be a potential surrogate endpoint for BCVA in future studies.

Immune responses to retinal gene therapy using adeno-associated viral vectors-Implications for treatment success and safety

Kirsten Bucher et al.

Summary: Recombinant adeno-associated virus (AAV) is a leading vector for gene therapy in the retina, efficiently transducing retinal cells but also causing intraocular inflammation and immune responses. The eye, being an immune-privileged site, may mitigate these responses, but further research is needed to understand influencing factors.

Prpf31 is essential for the survival and differentiation of retinal progenitor cells by modulating alternative splicing

Jingzhen Li et al.

Summary: Mutations in PRPF31 gene result in retinal degenerative diseases, affecting cell differentiation and survival by specifically modulating alternative splicing of genes involved in DNA repair and mitosis. Deficiency of Prpf31 leads to significant mitotic arrest and DNA damage in retinal progenitor cells, emphasizing its crucial role in retinal neurogenesis and maintenance. This study highlights the importance of splicing factors in regulating cell fate and function in neural tissues, particularly in the context of retinal development.

Dominant RP in the Middle While Recessive in Both the N- and C-Terminals Due to RP1 Truncations: Confirmation, Refinement, and Questions

Junwen Wang et al.

Summary: This study clarifies the boundaries between autosomal dominant RP and autosomal recessive RP caused by RP1 truncation variants through a systematic analysis of a large number of RP1 variants and thorough literature review. The findings suggest that truncations in the middle portion are associated with dominant RP, while those in the N and C terminals are responsible for recessive RP. The study also reveals unresolved issues that require further clarification regarding pathogenicity.

Summary: Late-onset retinal degeneration caused by CTRP5 mutation leads to metabolic defects in RPE cells, accumulation of deposits, and susceptibility to dedifferentiation. Gene augmentation or drug modulation can alleviate these cellular phenotypes.

Distinct expression requirements and rescue strategies for BEST1 loss- and gain-of-function mutations

Qingqing Zhao et al.

Summary: This study reveals that loss-of-function and gain-of-function mutations of the BEST1 gene in patients exhibit different requirements for mutant to wild-type molecule ratios, suggesting distinct epigenetic requirements in bestrophinopathy development. Furthermore, gain-of-function mutations have a strong dominant effect that impedes the restoration of BEST1-dependent Cl- currents in RPE cells by gene augmentation, unlike the rescue of loss-of-function mutations. It is also shown that gain-of-function mutations can be rescued by a combination of gene augmentation and CRISPR/Cas9-mediated knockdown of endogenous BEST1 expression, providing a universal treatment strategy for bestrophinopathy patients with different mutation types.
