The Mustafi Lab is investigating the genetic basis of inherited retinal degenerations (IRDs) and potentials for therapeutic intervention to prevent progression of blindness. In the pediatric population, IRDs are a major cause of visual impairment and can be one of the first presenting features of a syndromic condition. Early genetic diagnosis of such conditions may mitigate morbidity and allow appropriate genetic counseling.
The goal of the lab is to uncover the mechanistic details of IRDs to develop targeted therapies to benefit patient's visual needs.
