Advancing research and community to cure gyrate atrophy
Our mission is to find a cure for gyrate atrophy, a rare progressive retinal disease. We fund, mobilize and connect world-renowned researchers. We support patient families to advocate for a cure and participate in research studies. And we are so incredibly close to reaching our goal. Will you help us cure blindness caused by gyrate atrophy?
A cure is within sight.
With approaches such as gene therapy, stem cell research, and CRISPR gene-editing, we are making rapid progress toward finding a cure. In 2017, The FDA approved the first gene therapy treatment for a retinal disease - developed by Dr. Jean Bennett. With our support, Dr. Bennett is now focused on gyrate atrophy.
