At Spark Therapeutics, we are leveraging our unique technical and R&D expertise as we strive to bring gene therapies to patients. We are committed to working with the healthcare community as we expand our partnership to continue advancing state-of-the-art gene therapy research, education and support.
Inherited retinal diseases (IRDs, also known as inherited retinal dystrophies) are a group of rare blinding conditions caused by one of 250+ different genes. It is estimated that more than two million people live with inherited retinal diseases (IRDs) globally, but only a small percentage of them have been genetically screened because of limited access to and information about genetic testing. In response to feedback from advocates, families affected by IRDs and healthcare professionals about the current barriers preventing access to genetic screening for IRDs in a consistent manner, Spark Therapeutics has been working closely with physicians to help facilitate access to genetic screening for people with IRDs.
