Viral Vector-Based Gene Therapy for OPA1 Gene Mutation-Induced Dominant Optic Atrophy (UCLA Case No. 2025-004)

UCLA researchers in the Department of Ophthalmology have developed a viral vector-based gene therapy to restore OPA1 protein levels in patients with OPA1-mutated dominant optic atrophy. The optimized vectors will be delivered intravitreally to patients’ eyes, providing a minimally invasive, effective treatment with reduced side effects. BACKGROUND:...
