Choroideremia is a degenerative hereditary eye disease that attacks the peripheral vision and slowly erodes it over time until total blindness. Scientists discovered the exact location of the Choroideremia gene on the X chromosome in the early 1990's. New research based on these findings now drives the search for a treatment. However, at present there is no effective treatment or cure. With proper funding the Choroideremia Research Foundation (CRF) is potentially within two short years of human clinical trials to CURE Choroideremia!
