Today, we come together to spotlight mental health, because taking care of our minds is just as important as caring for our physical wellbeing.

Inherited retinal diseases (also called inherited retinal dystrophies, or IRDs) are a group of rare eye disorders caused by heritable gene variants associated with disease that can result in vision loss or complete blindness. In recognition of World Retina Day, we are sharing awareness about the importance of genetic testing. Obtaining a confirmed genetic diagnosis through genetic testing is the only way to verify the exact gene variants that are the underlying cause of an IRD—which can inform potential treatment options. #WorldRetinaDay #GeneticTesting

Spark is deeply committed to advancing the science of #GeneTherapy to tackle neurodegenerative diseases. Although these diseases often manifest differently for everyone making them extremely difficult to treat, gene therapies have the potential to be a one-time therapy, targeting the root cause of a disease rather than treating the symptoms. Watch the video below to hear from Liz Ramsburg, Head of Neuroscience Research at Spark, about our approach to investigating and advancing gene therapy for neurodegenerative diseases, like #HuntingtonsDisease and #ParkinsonsDisease.
