How could gene therapy change the way we treat age-related macular degeneration?
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of permanent vision loss in individuals over 50 years of age [1]. Advanced AMD can anatomically present as either neovascular (nAMD) or atrophic AMD. nAMD displays characteristic growth of abnormal vasculature that originates from the choroid or retina, resulting in macular neovascularization (MNV). MNV progression can lead to degeneration of photoreceptors, macular damage, and retinal pigment epithelium disruption [1]. If left untreated, MNV in nAMD can lead to leakage of fluid, lipid, and blood into the outer retina, resulting in irreversible vision loss [1]. Atrophic AMD can progress to geographic atrophy (GA), characterized by atrophy of choriocapillaris, retinal pigment epithelial cells, and macular photoreceptors [1].
