Eye Health Research Review - February 2026
The latest issue of Eye Health Research Review was published in February 2026. In this issue, a fascinating article describes inherited and de novo pathogenic variants in RNU4-2 and four paralogs of RNU6 which may explain cases of genetically undiagnosed autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa (ADRP).

- RPGR variants associated with X-linked cone dystrophy in females

I hope you find these and the other selected studies interesting and of clinical value and look forward to bringing you more exciting updates throughout 2026.
