For decades, a genetic test that turned up a mutation linked to inherited blindness was treated as a verdict, not a risk ...

New research finds that retinal diseases thought to map one-to-one to genetic mutations are more complicated than that.

In patients with retinitis pigmentosa (RP), crucial cells in the retina known as rods and cones die over time; night ...

Genetics aren't necessarily destiny for those with mutations thought to always cause inherited blindness, a new study says. Fewer than 30% of people with these genetic variants wind up blind, even ...

Researchers from Radboud University Medical Center and University of Basel have discovered new genetic causes of inherited ...

OKLAHOMA CITY – Researchers at the University of Oklahoma are advancing the fight against inherited retinal diseases (IRDs) with new genetic research that aims to improve diagnoses and lay the ...

Women can be colorblind, but it’s much less common than in men. Red-green color blindness, the most common type, is inherited through the X chromosome. Since males have only one X, they need just one ...

The results call into question how faulty genes wind up causing diseases, researchers said TUESDAY, Dec. 23, 2025 (HealthDay News) — Genetics aren’t necessarily destiny for those with mutations ...

Genetics linked to vision loss don’t always cause blindness Fewer than 30% of people with genes linked to retinal degeneration wind up with vision loss or blindness The results call into question how ...
