  • Scientists have been using a new form of gene therapy to treat a rare inherited eye condition which eventually causes severe tunnel vision.
    Scientists have been using the new treatment on patients to try to halt further loss of sight. And they've been astonished to find that it has actually improved their vision.
    Sophie Raworth presents BBC News at Ten reporting by medical editor Fergus Walsh.

    I’m using text to speech to say this. I am almost completely blind from optic nerve drusen. I’m 19 can’t drive. Can barely work. I am considered poor. I didn’t have a childhood because I spent it in fear of losing my vision. I find out there is something that can possibly help and you charge $800,000 USD for the injection. I was so happy to see this then broke down crying after hearing the price for 1 singular injection. This isn’t a world I wanna live in. Knowing I can never afford it means this will be permanent.

      As far as i can see this procedure is not for patients who losing vision by glaucoma and have damaged optic nerve bcs i m one of them and there's no way right now to restore lost vision by glaucoma bcs there's no way to repair or regenerate optic nerve. You can only preserve the remaining vision but can't bring back what's gone

      NHS Genomic Medicine Service
      NHS Genomic Medicine Service
      The role of NHS England and NHS Improvement is to enable the NHS to harness the power of genomic technology and science to improve the health of our population and deliver on the commitments in the NHS Long Term Plan:
      To be the first national health care system to offer whole genome sequencing as part of routine care.
      To sequence 500,000 whole genomes by 2023/24 and help transform healthcare for maximum patient benefit, including for all children with cancer or children who are seriously ill with a likely genetic disorder.
      Extended access to molecular diagnostics and offer genomic testing routinely to all people with cancer.
      Early detection and treatment of high-risk conditions including expanding genomic testing for Familial Hypocholesterolaemia.
      Linking and correlating genomic data to help provide new treatments, diagnostic approaches and help patients make informed decisions about their care.
      These commitments will be delivered on by the NHS Genomic Medicine Service for England which will provide:
      Consistent and equitable care to for the country’s 55 million people.
      Operate to common national standards, specifications and protocols.
      Deliver a single national testing directory covering use of all technologies from single genes to whole genome sequencing.
      Give all patients an opportunity to participate in research for their individual benefit but also to inform future care for other patients.
      Build a national genomic knowledge base to provide real world data to inform academic and industry research and development.
      The systematic application of genomic technologies has the potential to transform patient’s lives by:
      enabling a quicker diagnosis for patients with a rare disease, rather than years of uncertainty, often referred to in rare disease as the ‘diagnostic odyssey’.
      matching people to the most effective medications and interventions, reducing the likelihood of an adverse drug reaction.
      increasing the number of people surviving cancer each year because of more accurate and early diagnosis and more effective use of therapies.
      Workforce Development
      To help achieve this we are delivering three workforce development programmes covering nursing and midwifery, pharmacy and medical practitioners, with the support of Health Education England’s Genomics Education Programme.
      You can find out more about this programme and the genomic resources available on their website.
      Genomics Clinical Reference Group
      The Genomics Clinical Reference Group (CRG) has been convened to support implementation of the NHS Genomic Medicine Service (GMS). Through its professional, patient and public representation, the Genomics CRG carries out the following functions:
      Advise on clinical policy and strategy for genomics, including implementation of NHS Long Term Plan commitments and future development of the NHS GMS;
      Oversee a clear and transparent process for annual review of the National Genomic Test Directory (supported by three test evaluation working groups covering rare and inherited disease, cancer and pharmacogenomics, see below);
      Support activities to raise awareness and embedding of genomics across all clinical specialties; and
      Advise on, review and develop guidance and service specifications (including the clinical genetics service specification)
      If you would like to be involved with the CRG and help shape policies and the approach taken by the NHS Genomic Medicine Service then you can sign-up and become a stakeholder.
      Working with communities and patient groups
      People and communities are at the heart of what we do, and there are many ways that members of the pubic and people with lived experience of genomics can get involved in our work, helping shape the development of services and improve patient experience. These including applying for a position on one of the groups and forums that set our strategy and policy, responding to consultations on changes to services, helping co-produce patient information or sharing your story through the media. Opportunities to get involved are advertised on the Involvement Hub and you can also contact the communications and engagement team in the Genomics Unit..

      Matt Hancock announces new National Genomic Healthcare Strategy
      Health and Social Care Secretary Matt Hancock has today announced the launch of a landmark new strategy that will secure the UK’s place in the future as a global leader in genomics.
      The new National Genomic Healthcare Strategy, Genome UK: the future of healthcare, will ensure the UK can offer patients the best possible prognostic, preventative and personalised care by harnessing the potential of advanced genome sequencing.
      The strategy sets out how the UK genomics community, from researches through to the NHS, will work together to harness the latest advances in genetic and genomic science, research and technology for the benefit of patients, to create the most progressive genomic healthcare system in the world.
      This will drive improvements in healthcare for patients, reducing limitations between clinical care and research, and continue to deliver innovative new research projects in the UK.
      The strategy is hoped to unite the genomics community through a shared goal for the future of the system.
      The strategy focuses on 3 key areas:
      Diagnosis and personalised medicine - using genomic technologies to identify the genetic causes of rare diseases, infectious diseases, and cancer and provide personalised treatments to illness. The NHS will embed the latest genomic technologies to benefit patients.
      Prevention - genomics will be used to accurately predict the risk of chronic diseases. Subject to validation, national screening programmes could use genomics to identify at-risk populations, including more vulnerable populations and those in harder to reach groups to allow earlier clinical and lifestyle interventions.
      Research - we will enable more efficient and improved collaboration between researchers and clinicians to benefit patients, while upholding the highest standards on the use of data. This includes ensuring that research findings are translated into healthcare settings to benefit patients.
      Health and Social Care Secretary Matt Hancock said: “Genomics has the potential to transform the future of healthcare by offering patients the very best predictive, preventative and personalised care.
      “The UK is already recognised around the world as a global leader in genomics and this strategy will allow us to go further and faster to help patients right here in our NHS and give them the best possible chance against a range of diseases.
      “The UK is using its expertise in genomics right now to advance our understanding of Covid-19, develop new treatments and help us protect the most vulnerable.”
      Chris Wigley, CEO of Genomics England, said: “This is an important moment for genomic healthcare in Britain. With the launch of Genome UK, we are a step closer to a future where genomics can improve everyone’s health and wellbeing, based on the latest scientific discoveries.
      “Genomics England continues to focus our efforts on enabling genomic healthcare to help doctors diagnose, treat and prevent illnesses, and accelerating genomic research by providing the health data and advanced technology researchers need to make new discoveries and create more effective medicines.
      “The speed at which everyone has come together to work collaboratively on this study demonstrates how significant genomic sequencing is in population health today. We now have a team of the best scientific minds and tech experts all working together at tremendous pace, to analyse the genomic data we have gathered. This work will help us to understand why the virus affects people in different ways, which will potentially allow us to personalise treatment, discover new therapies, save lives - and even prevent future outbreaks.”
      Matt hancock does not have shares in the vaccine but he has shares in a genome sequencing company called genome uk

      Unless you have Leber's Congenital Amaurosis Type 2, this treatment will not work for you. LCA2 patients make up a very small percentage of the more than 300+ genetic causes of RP. This medicine, Luxturna, contains a gene segment to replace the non-functioning RPE65 gene.

      Probably not because the treatment involves replacing a specific gene with a healthy version of the gene. However the method used in the Luxturna treatment could possibly be used with different genes in the future.

      Yes, because it's really just the injection that the patients pay for. Years of development, testing and production don't cost anything at all.
