Our data support the hypothesis that CACNA1F could be related to early-onset or congenital optic nerve involvement without any signs of a progressive optic neuropathy. Even though additional data from larger cohorts and longer follow-up periods are needed to further support and confirm our findings, there is a clear significance to our findings in the preparation for future CACNA1F gene therapy trials.
