Generally, it is defined as the study of inheritance; specifically, it is the determination of genes linked with causing retinal degenerative diseases. Genetics (GE) is one of the Foundation's seven research priority areas. Scientists and clinicians are looking for new genes linked to retinal degenerative diseases. It is thought that over half of retinal degenerative disease-causing genes have already been identified. |
