Genetics of Inherited Retinal Degenerations

Explore the genetics of inherited retinal degenerations in this 38-minute lecture from the Medical and Population Genetics Primer series at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard. Delivered by Eric Pierce and Emily Place from Massachusetts Eye and Ear Institute, delve into topics such as genetic therapy, clinical diagnosis, genetic overlap, and Leber congenital amaurosis (LCA). Learn about tissue organoids, gene expression, and complementary gene variants as they relate to retinal disorders. Gain insights into cutting-edge research and potential therapeutic approaches for inherited eye diseases. Benefit from the expertise of leading researchers in the field as they discuss complex genetic concepts and their applications in ophthalmology. Engage with the Q&A session to further enhance your understanding of this critical area of medical genetics.
