I do not think anyone anywhere is working on gene therapy for fundus albipunctatus. The first application was Leber's disease.  But you still can do internet search.

My husband has fundus albipunctatus and lost vision in one eye. His vision is getting worse at 60 years of age. I read about gene studies at cleveland clinic in the Houston Chronicle. Is there any help for the vision loss or a Doctor working on this problem in the U.S.

the problem in the patients I've had has been stationary and did not interfer with the vision. JCH III MD
