Current management of Inherited Retinal Degenerations (IRD) patients in Europe. Results of a 2 years follow-up multinational survey by the European Vision Institute Clinical Research Network - EVICR.net

Conclusion: This second multinational survey on management of IRDs in Europe highlights persistent important differences in the number of IRD patients managed per center, comparable diagnostic work-up, and increasing genotyping in diagnost ic laboratories. The important increase of involvement of centers in natural history and gene therapy trials reflects the rapidly evolving field of gene therapy development. The survey provides important follow-up data for researchers, clinicians, care givers, patient advocate groups, pharmaceutical companies and investors.
