| Research Abstract |
Retinal dystrophies cause genetically and progressively visual disturbances. To date, any effective treatments have never been available. In addition, pathological gene mutations have not been found in most of retinal dystrophies. We investigated the disease features and the causative genes in the Japanese patients with retinal dystrophies. It was demonstrated that the gene mutations we identified were different from those identified in other ethnic populations. We believe that identification of gene mutations holds promise for treatment of retinal dystrophies.
