Small molecule treatment alleviates photoreceptor cilia defects in LCA5-deficient human retinal organoids

Abstract Bialleleic pathogenic variants in LCA5 cause one of the most severe forms of Leber congenital amaurosis, an early-onset retinal disease that results in severe visual impairment. Here, we report the use of gene editing to generate isogenic LCA5 knock-out (LCA5 KO) induced pluripotent stem ce...
