Funded Activity Summary

Blindness is a very distressing sensory loss. Hereditary eye disorders account for the vision impairment in at least one-third of people who are registered as blind. These disorders cause blindness from a young age and work productivity is significantly impaired. This project will identify novel genetic factors in blinding eye disorders. Identifying these genetic factors will lead to better early detection methods for people and improved treatments to prevent the blindness.
