1
Corey Haas, age 8, of Hadley, New York. LCA2 patient
2
What can we do about LCA2? What do we need to know first?
3
Dataset 1: A family history Genetic? Infectious? Environmental?
4
Dataset 2: Eye physiology Affected and unaffected individuals Clarity measurements Latency and amplitude of nerve transmission
5
Dataset 3: Molecular information Affected and unaffected individuals Measurements of rhodopsin, cis-retinal, trans-retinal, Na + concentration, mitochondria and DNA amounts Retinal
6
light Change in [Na + ] sends a signal down the optic nerve cis-retinal trans-retinal
7
light Change in [Na + ] sends a signal down the optic nerve RPE65
8
light Change in [Na + ] sends a signal down the optic nerve RPE65 LCA2!
9
light Change in [Na + ] sends a signal down the optic nerve RPE65 LCA2! Can we replace the defective RPE65 gene with a functional gene?
10
Corey Haas After RPE65 gene therapy on one eye
