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.Download Full PDF Sample Copy of Market Report @ https://exactitudeconsultancy.com/request-sample/72261
The approval of gene therapies such as Luxturna (voretigene neparvovec-rzyl) has transformed the treatment landscape, creating momentum for genetic testing, early diagnosis, and precision medicine.
