| Description |
A longstanding mystery complicates the care of patients with a common childhood neurologic disease causing severe visual loss, neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1). Namely, among the ~20% of young children with NF1 who develop optic pathway gliomas (OPGs), the degree of visual loss or recovery often is not readily predicted by tumor characteristics or treatment response. We investigated whether disruptions of retinal ganglion cell (RGC) physiology might help explain this striking disparity. |
