The Important Bits: 1.) When the video was made it cost $425,000 per eye but they hoped to reduce it 2.) It improves light sensitivity and the size of your vision field but doesn't make your vision clearer, so you will be able to navigate in the dark but not clearly see what you are navigating around. 3.) It's safe, tested in 21 patients with no problems. 1 Injection per eye. 4.) It takes 30 days to reach full effect and tests show that the effects are still there after 4 years. So basically, it's not the miracle cure we all want but it is a step in the right direction. It has been approved by the FDA and Canada's Health.
This gene therapy works only for patients with RPE65 mutation since this delivers its functional copy into the retinal cells of the patients and LUXTRUNA is the only FDA-approved drug for Retinal dystrophy, however, you can search for any clinical trials for the patients with mutation as your child.
@sss productions @luxturna its a question for both. will this gene therapy still work after covid infection or vaccination? i m asking because after infection body develops some immunity against viruses and covid vaccines are to stop virus infection and hence viruses are not that effective. gene therapy is also based on viruses. please provide some knowledge.
The virus contains no viral parts; it's essentially an empty shell that carries the RPE65 gene into retina cells. So this treatment will not be affected in any way by any vaccines.
Don't worry brother all will be ok.. There are treatments to stop degeneration don't worry In future there will be defenantly cure to this disease Don't worry !

Could these principles be applied to the crb1 gene?
How’s the procedure to have the disease cured?
does this therapy work with RP1 mutation
@sssproductions I love videos like this, how can I make one like this with the animations? Is there a certain software that does it?
The visual acuity part made me kind of sad, I was hoping I would get back sharpness :(
Is it available for a common man outside USA & CANADA?
If gene therapy is a thing, what about addressing Sticklers disease which also affects the eyes and can cause retina detachment?
It's not that easy my guy
It's actually "Stickler syndrome" if you want to be a stickler for correct nomenclature 😅
I don't know how genes work but is there any hope of qualifying for this therapy when your RP gene is RLBP1? Do you know of any other interventions?
my daughter has been diagnosed with RP due to RP1 mutation is there anyway to have gene therapy
