NCT ID NCT03662386
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at over 100 people with inherited retinal dystrophies, a group of rare eye diseases that can cause vision loss. Researchers collected genetic and eye exam data to find links between specific gene mutations and symptoms. The goal was to better understand these diseases, which could eventually help develop targeted treatments.
