Summary
This study created a national DNA and blood bank for inherited eye diseases like retinitis pigmentosa. Over 6,600 participants donated a blood sample and had an eye exam. The goal was to help researchers find the genetic causes of these conditions and speed up the development of new treatments. No direct treatment was given, but participants could choose to learn their genetic results and be contacted about future studies.
