Bietti crystalline corneoretinal dystrophy (BCD) represents a distinct IRD subtype characterized by crystalline deposits in the retina. Although rare in Western populations, BCD ranks among the most prevalent IRDs in East Asia, affecting an estimated 124,000 to 377,000 individuals worldwide. As a severe type of IRD, BCD demonstrates accelerated progression and currently lacks effective treatment. The BCD disease is caused by a biallelic mutation in the <em>CYP4V2</em> gene. With a coding sequence (CDS) of 1,578 bp, <em>CYP4V2</em> can be effectively encapsulated into adeno-associated virus (AAV) vectors. As a hydroxylase, CYP4V2 is mainly expressed in retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells, which can be transduced by AAVs and are suitable for gene augmentation therapy that replaces the function of mutant proteins. Given the large patient population, severe visual impairment, and feasibility of gene therapy, several research groups are interested in developing gene therapy products for BCD, and two products entering Phase III clinical trials have made significant progress. This review outlines the clinical features, genetic insights and pathogenic mechanisms of BCD and discusses the ongoing gene therapy clinical trials, including efficacy and concerns.

We surveyed the literature to identify the roles of ONH pericytes in the context of health and glaucoma. Additionally, we probed for the presence of pericytes along microvasculature in mouse, nonhuman primate, and human donor ONH tissues. We identified an association between factors influencing ONH dysfunction in glaucoma and factors influencing pericyte dysfunction in other neurodegenerative conditions. Pericytes exist in the mouse, nonhuman primate, and human ONH, implicating their capacity for local function. ONH pericytes represent a promising but underexplored target for treating microvascular impairment in glaucoma.

Although a substantial proportion of CC cases arise from genetic defects, significant gaps remain in the understanding of the genotype-phenotype correlations and the characteristics of potentially pathogenic variants associated with this condition. In the current study, the genetic architecture of CC was investigated by a comparative literature review of 39 known CC-associated genes from Cat-map and HGMD, within an in-house cohort of 150 CC families, complemented by comparing with in-house exome sequencing data from 10,530 families with various eye conditions as well as data from the gnomAD database. Comparative analysis revealed: 1) The in-house genetic diagnostic yield was 63.3% (95/150); 2) Variants in specific genes were correlated with distinct phenotypes, especially for variants in <em>BFSP2</em>, <em>MIP</em>, <em>GJA3</em>, <em>PITX3</em> and <em>CRYGD</em>; 3) <em>GJA3</em> variants were often associated with high myopia, and <em>CRYGC</em> variants were often linked to microcornea or microphthalmia; 4) A predominance of <em>CRYAA, LIM2</em> and <em>MIP</em> variants involve arginine to cysteine changes, and <em>CRYGD</em> variants involve proline to threonine changes; 5) The interpretation of variant pathogenicity is a great challenge. Uncertain variants in CC are present in up to 56.0% of the general population. In conclusion, identified monogenic variants contribute to approximately two-thirds of CC, which has been underestimated as one-third before.

In such conditions, intermediates and byproducts of the visual cycle, such as bisretinoid components of lipofuscin, can accumulate, concomitant with cellular damage and eventual photoreceptor loss. This has inspired efforts to modulate the visual cycle, aiming to slow or prevent the formation of these toxic intermediates and thus preserve retinal structure and function. Over the past two decades, multiple strategies to modulate the visual cycle have emerged. These include both intrinsic approaches, targeting key enzymes, retinoid-binding proteins, or receptors within the pigment epithelium or photoreceptors (<em>e.g.,</em> RPE65, CRBP1, and rhodopsin inhibitors/antagonists) and extrinsic strategies that indirectly alter retinoid availability within the retina (<em>e.g.,</em> RBP4 antagonists). Many of these agents have shown promise in animal models of visual cycle-associated retinal diseases, reducing pathological changes, and improving retinal survival. Several have advanced into clinical studies, although none are currently FDA-approved. Challenges remain in optimizing drug specificity and duration of action while minimizing side effects such as nyctalopia.
