Retinitis Pigmentosa
3. Is there a cure for Retinitis Pigmentosa?
Since RP is a genetic condition there is currently
no possible drug related cure or procedure, nor is there likely
to be in the very near future.
However over a period of time it is likely that the
genes responsible for giving out misinformation to the developing
cells will be identified.This raises the possibility of a successful
method of prevention prior to the development of the condition.
It may also offer the opportunity of introducing corrective genetic
material into those people with the condition, leading to the possible
regeneration of the damage tissue.
