Leber Congenital Amaurosis Market : Report by Growth Opportunity and Forecast to 2024

Leber Congenital Amaurosis Market: Overview

Leber congenital amaurosis (LCA) is a disorder of eye mainly affects the retina. Retina is the specific tissue at the back of the eye responsible for detection of light and color. People, primarily babies suffering with this disorder have severe visual impairment from the first year of life. The visual impairment because of this disorder likely to be stable for the rest of the life, whereas is some cases it may worsen very slowly over time. LCA is a congenital disease and usually inherited from the parents where both the parents carry a copy of a recessive gene even though they are normal sighted.

The prime symptom of LCA includes lack of visual reactions and unusual eye movements which collectively termed as nystagmus, where it can be observed within the first few months of life, the other secondary symptoms include glaucoma, cataract and cornea problems. Recently companies got experimental successes regarding treatment of LCA using gene therapy, but research and development work on this therapy is still in the research phase.

Leber Congenital Amaurosis Market: Diagnosis and Treatment Demand Drivers

The disease leber congenital amaurosis is very rare and identified at early stage of the life. According to report published by American Association for Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus, approximately 3 cases per 100,000 births have LCA and out of all congenital blindness or severely reduced vision cases in children only 10% are caused by LCA. According to United States Food and Drug Administration, LCA represents more than 5% of all retinal dystrophies.

All these facts represent demand for the various diagnosis and treatment options for leber congenital amaurosis globally in coming future. The technological advancements in diagnosis of LCA and suitable reimbursement circumstances may drive the growth of the market.
