👏 Congrats to Karolina Kaminska on winning the PRO RETINA Research Award 2025 for her recent paper in AJHG!
New hope for patients living with inherited vision loss: Scientists uncover mutations in three genes (AP5Z1, AP5M1, AP5B1) revealing a new cause of hereditary macular dystrophy and offering expanded diagnostic capabilities. 🔗 https://t.co/y0ukaWshTV
