LCA (Leber Congenital Amaurosis) is the most common form of congenital blindness. LCA causes blindness from birth or during the first few months of life. The disorder affects 1 in 30,000 newborns, and is currently incurable.
Discovery of the CEP290 gene and a single mutation (rs281865192) found in 20 percent of
LCA patients may significantly speed up the genetic testing process for
blind children.[PMID 16909394
