Leber Congenital Amaurosis Market to Reach USD 1.4 Billion by 2034

Leber congenital amaurosis (LCA) is a rare inherited retinal dystrophy that presents in infancy or early childhood with severe visual impairment or blindness. Caused by mutations in more than 25 genes (including RPE65, CEP290, GUCY2D, and CRB1), LCA represents one of the most genetically heterogeneous retinal disorders.
