The maturity in our understanding of the genetics and the pathogenesis of disease in degenerative retinal disorders has intersected in past years with a novel treatment paradigm in which a genetic intervention may lead to sustained therapeutic benefit, and in some cases even restoration of vision. Here, we review this prospect of retinal gene therapy, discuss the enabling technologies that have led to first-in-human demonstrations of efficacy and safety, and the road that led to this exciting point in time.
在过去几年中,我们对退行性视网膜疾病的遗传学和发病机制的理解已趋于成熟,与一种新的治疗模式相结合,即基因干预可能带来持续的治疗益处,在某些情况下甚至能恢复视力。在此,我们回顾视网膜基因治疗的这一前景,讨论促成首次人体疗效和安全性验证的 enabling 技术,以及引领我们走到这一激动人心时刻的历程。 (注:原文中“enabling technologies”可能是特定领域术语,这里直接保留英文,因为不清楚其准确的中文释义)
