Choroideremia gene therapy gives long-lasting improvements to vision

Patients who took part in the world's first gene therapy clinical trial for choroideremia have had a real and long-lasting improvement in vision.

A follow-up report is published in the current issue of The New England Journal of Medicine by Professor Robert MacLaren, who led the study at the University of Oxford. The clinical trial was made possible due to research by Professor Miguel Seabra at Imperial College London supported via the Tommy Salisbury Choroideremia Fund at Fight for Sight.
