Description

ABSTRACT This natural history study of patients with PCDH15 disease-causing variants will accelerate the development of outcome measures for clinical trials. Sensitive, reliable outcome measures of retinal degeneration will greatly facilitate development of treatments for retinitis pigmentosa due to PCDH15 disease-causing variants. Together these approaches are expected to have an impact on understanding PCDH15 related retinal degeneration, developing experimental treatment protocols, and assessing their effectiveness. The goals and expected impact of this natural history study are to: 1. Describe the natural history of retinal degeneration in patients with biallelic disease-causing variants in the PCDH15 gene 2. Contribute to the identification of sensitive structural and functional outcome measures to use for future multicenter clinical trials in PCDH15 related retinal degeneration 3. Contribute to the identification of populations for future clinical trials of investigative treatments for PCDH15 related retinal degeneration
