The gene editing research seeking a Stargardt treatment

Elena Piotter, a PhD student at the University of Oxford, discusses her research project into a gene editing technique called CRISPR and how it could lead to a treatment for Stargardt disease. Her research is co-funded by the Macular Society and Retina UK

Please mention how long will it take to come up with concrete evidence of successful gene therapy for abca4 stargadts 1 disease?

[@cricketismylifecricketismy9041]

How long will it take to complete this research?
How can I participate participate in clinical trials

[@kunalbajaj7082]

How much time find the treatment of stargarts

[@forever-fz1hk]

Kunal you too suffering from this brother??

[@aisha7183]

Will there ever be any treatment for stargardts and will it become a legal treatment?

[@RA-kv3zb]

Hope so....thats what we can hope for

[@aisha7183]

Is there any way I can get this treatment?

[@MacularSociety]

Hi Aisha, this is not yet available as a treatment for Stargardt and would still need to go through clinical trials. If successful, it would be some time off yet.

Its so frustrating watching 10 year old videos and they talk about a cure coming soon and its still not here.

[@icebreaker1264]

They just started the trials recently I agree it’s annoying that clinical results do that but they need to do heavy amount of research before they can test stuff out 😅
