JAMA Ophthalmology
About The Study: Results from this study highlight a lower genetic detection rate for Black patients than for white patients with inherited retinal diseases. This supports a concern that the current development of inherited retinal disease therapeutics is highly dependent on the ability to identify the genetic cause of disease.
