LONDON . Scientists have to find a «mutant» gene, which is directly linked to the most common causes of blindness in the developed world, creating hope even for the whole treatment of the disease.
British scientists said that they found six variants of this gene, which they call "Serping 1" and, related to the degeneration caused to spot (eye) - is called "AMD", due to advanced age. As stress characteristics: «The discoveries are helping us to better understand the genetic surrounding the degeneration induced in cells with age, which should lead to new methods of treatment of normal and« limited »disease» underlined Sarah and Andrew Enis higher, from the University of Southampton in the newspaper «Lanset».
The "AMD", which causes damage to sensitive cells of the plume in a region located in the center of the retina, usually develops when a person grows. A proportion of 90% of patients found to suffer from "AMD", is called «dry-version» of the disease, but for which no treatment is not currently available.
The others are the «wet» form, found in minutes Red pots to grow between the retina and the back of the eye. This form of the disease can be treated with modern medicines.
