Inherited retinal degenerations (IRDs) represent a diverse group of progressive, visually debilitating diseases that can lead to blindness in which mutations in genes that are critical to retinal function lead to progressive photoreceptor cell death and associated vision loss. IRDs are genetically heterogeneous, with over 260 disease genes identified to date. 1 The development of treatments and cures to modify the rate of disease progression has been limited to date, with some success of neurotrophic factor therapy and gene therapies reported from clinical trials. 2–11 The best example of treatment success is gene augmentation therapy for IRD caused by mutations in the RPE65 gene, which recently received US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval, which in fact represented the first FDA-approved gene therapy (GT) for any genetically inherited disease. 4–9 Recent developments in the IRD field have advanced understanding of the mechanisms responsible for vision loss, creating new opportunities to intervene in the course of disease by developing new therapeutic approaches. In 2013, a Delphi-style gathering of IRD experts led to the identification, by consensus, of top priorities to advance therapeutic efforts for IRDs, including the need for systematic genotyping, improved standardization of visual function testing, development of more rigorous and widespread data collection protocols, and increased data sharing. 12 This document summarizes more recent advances in the IRD field and outlines specific knowledge gaps. These knowledge gaps present oppor-
