Bietti crystalline corneoretinal dystrophy
MONDO:0008865Bietti's crystalline dystrophy (BCD) is a rare progressive autosomal recessive tapetoretinal degeneration disease, occurring in the third decade of life, characterized by small sparkling crystalline deposits in the posterior retina and corneal limbus in addition to sclerosis of the choroidal vessels and manifesting as nightblindness, decreased vision, paracentral scotoma, and, in the end stages of the disease, legal blindness.
Also known as: BCD, Bietti crystalline corneoretinal dystrophy, Bietti crystalline retinopathy, Bietti crystalline dystrophy, Bietti tapetoretinal Degeneration with marginal corneal dystrophy

Can a single injection save sight in a rare retinal disease?
⭐️ CURE ⭐️ OngoingThis early-stage trial is testing whether a gene therapy called NGGT001, injected under the retina, is safe and tolerable for people with Bietti's crystalline dystrophy, a rare inherited condition that causes progressive vision loss. The study enrolls about 11 adults with a confi…

One-Time gene injection aims to halt rare eye disease
Disease control OngoingThis study tests a single injection of ZVS101e, a gene therapy that delivers a working copy of the CYP4V2 gene directly into the retina. It is for adults with Bietti's crystalline dystrophy, a rare inherited condition that leads to progressive vision loss. The trial will check wh…

Experimental gene therapy offers hope for rare blindness condition
Disease control ENROLLING_BY_INVITATIONThis study provides ZVS101e, a gene therapy, to 32 people with Bietti crystalline corneoretinal dystrophy (BCD) who were in the control group of a previous Phase III trial. The therapy uses a harmless virus to deliver a working gene to the eye, aiming to slow vision loss. The mai…
