AchromatopsiaWe were back and forth to the hospital around Christmas time, and then she was diagnosed with
achromatopsia.
So, Komaromy and colleagues recruited more dogs with
achromatopsia between 1 and 3 years old.
The company will use the funds to continue developing its phase 2 programme in Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency treatment and to launch full development of potential treatments for orphan ophthalmology indications

Nine-year-old Tyla from Kinmel Bay suffers from
achromatopsia, a rare genetic condition that leaves her completely colourblind.
The six-year-old from Swansea suffers from the 1-in-33,000 eye condition
achromatopsia, that also means he sees the world only in shades of grey.
(2005) shows that the majority of
achromatopsia disease patients mainly affected by the mutations in these two genes (that are responsible for the disease).
Further tests showed she had
achromatopsia, a condition which affects one in every 33,000 people, but most not to such an extreme degree.
Other frequently reported causes of visual impairments were ocular albinism (13.7%); high myopia, glaucoma, and
achromatopsia (5.9%); and retinopathy of prematurity, cone dystrophy, optic atrophy, esotropia, and retinal detachment (3.9%).
(216) At other times color experience is selectively lost: 'In cerebral
achromatopsia we find a selective vanishing of colors from the conscious model of the world', (220) due to localized brain lesions and certainly not due to psychoanalytic repression.
In a patient with bilateral lesions of the temporo-occipital cortex, with agnosia, alexia,

They were born with a form of Crone Dystrophy called Incomplete
