9-year-old Corey Hass figured he would never see again: suffering from an inherited disease called Leber’s congenital amaurosis, Corey was classified as legally blind. Naturally, Corey’s family was willing to try anything to give him a chance so that he could participate in normal childhood activities. Thus, when doctors at The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia offered Corey an opportunity to be part of an experimental gene therapy trial, Corey and his parents decided to take the chance. Miraculously, Corey can see again. In fact, he started seeing results just four days after the procedure. |
