RDH12 Fund for Sight

Dedicated to the delivery of a cure for leber congenital amaurosis caused by mutations in RDH12.

The work of Dr. Moosajee could be important in developing cell-based assays that support screening for small molecule that could treat #RDH12 LCA.

Our #RDH12 Families have been supporting the work of Dr. Moosajee @Moorfields. Dr. Moosajee recently published her work on characterizing cellular phenotypes due to the loss of #RDH12. https://t.co/EWayT6vwoC

Today is #WorldBrailleDay! Invented by Louis Braille in 1824, #braille is a tactile representation of alphabetic and numerical symbols that allows #blind and #visuallyimpaired individuals to read and write.

The RDH12 Fund for Sight helped to support the work in Dr. Bennett's lab to develop the #RDH12 #GeneTherapy and the @ChildrensPhila natural history study.

[RDH12 Fund for Sight @RDH12Sight]

The #RDH12 #GeneTherapy being developed by @OpusGenetics was originated in the laboratory of Dr. Jean Bennett of @ChildrensPhila @Penn. Dr. Bennett has published a natural history study of RDH12 LCA. https://t.co/kFZcjwvXIR

The RDH12 Fund for Sight @RDH12 provided a grant to Dr. Thompson that helped support this important early work.

The #RDH12 #Genetherapy being developed by @MeiraGTx was created in the lab of Dr. Debra Thompson @UMKelloggEye @UMich. The preclinical data was published in 2019 https://t.co/jZaynYAcsI.

It is really encouraging to finally see not just one but two companies now taking meaningful steps forward on making #genetherapy for #RDH12 LCA a reality.

[RDH12 Fund for Sight @RDH12Sight]

And Opus Genetics was founded with a #genetherapy program focused on #RDH12 LCA in their initial pipeline. https://t.co/SME0n4IpAF

2022 could be the most impactful year yet in our journey toward a treatment for RDH12 LCA. @MeiraGTx has officially declared their intention to pursue a #genetherapy trial. https://t.co/4rxYBXJbtR

Going to do a huge national fundraiser! Want to get involved! Come to our website for details. You could win $2000! https://t.co/8t8aaFcc3f

@westcoastrail We are trying to book. Said tickets would be on sale at noon today, yet we cannot book. Is something wrong with the site?

[RDH12 Fund for Sight @RDH12Sight]

@katiewr31413491 And yes - we go through it every year. Many blind kids are the only one in their district and are not understood.

[RDH12 Fund for Sight @RDH12Sight]

@katiewr31413491 it is okay. Some schools think blind kids don't need to read - just need to listen. Drives us mad.

[RDH12 Fund for Sight @RDH12Sight]

A lot is happening in our foundation - sorry we have been so quiet. Cure is soon. Almost 2 million dollars raised. Stay tuned!

[RDH12 Fund for Sight @RDH12Sight]

@katiewr31413491 it is very hard to get services for blind children. As parents of blind children we should know. Ask us about it.

[RDH12 Fund for Sight @RDH12Sight]

@katiewr31413491 as a parent of a blind chid and head of this foundation, I can tell you that it is very hard to get services for blind kids
