  • Publication number: 20210324387
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to methods and compositions for treating retinitis pigmentosa. In some aspects, the disclosure provides compositions and methods for delivering an interfering nucleic acid (for example an interfering RNA) to a subject in order to reduce expression of one or both alleles of an endogenous rho gene (for example a mutant rho allele associated with retinitis pigmentosa) in the subject. In some embodiments, a replacement rho gene that is resistant to the interfering nucleic acid also is delivered to the subject.

  • Publication number: 20210207147
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to methods and compositions useful for treating retinitis pigmentosa. In some aspects, the disclosure provides compositions and methods for delivering an interfering RNA to a subject in order to reduce expression of one or both alleles of an endogenous RHO gene (for example a mutant rho allele associated with retinitis pigmentosa) in a subject.
