SUMMARY:Gene Agnostic Therapies
DESCRIPTION:Over the past few years we have talked a lot about the promise of gene therapy – treatments designed for a specific gene\, like Luxturna for RPE56. There is growing interest now in therapies that are not designed for a specific gene – but instead may be able to treat many mutations causing at disease. These potential treatments are called gene agnostic therapies. \nIn this webinar\, join us for a conversation with Dr. Daniel Chung\, chief medical officer at SparingVision\, which is developing a gene-agnostic therapy to preserve cone vision in people with retinitis pigmentosa\, Usher syndrome\, and related conditions.
