tunities for further investigation to enable development of therapies that may slow down or prevent vision loss, or restore vision, in affected patients.Atrophic age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is included among the target inherited retinal diseases of interest because first, understanding AMD may contribute to understanding of inherited macular diseases, and second, understanding of the genetics and mechanism of inherited macular degenerations may contribute to understanding of AMD. Recent Advances in IRD ResearchThe development of treatments for IRDs requires basic and translational research that leads to improved understanding of the nature and causes of these diseases.Brief summaries of recent advances in IRD research are included here.
