GLOBAL NPHP5 RETINAL DEGENERATION TREATMENT MARKET SIZE AND SHARE ANALYSIS - GROWTH TRENDS AND FORECASTS (2023 - 2030)
NPHP5 retinal degeneration, also known as Senior-Loken syndrome 7, is a rare genetic ciliopathy that causes progressive visual impairment and can lead to complete blindness. It is caused by mutations in the NPHP5 gene, which encodes for nephrocystin-5, a protein critical for cilia function. The condition is characterized by retinitis pigmentosa, nephronophthisis, and other systemic involvement. Currently, there is no approved treatment for NPHP5 retinal degeneration, and management involves low vision aids and supportive care. However, recent research investigating the pathogenic mechanisms has uncovered potential drug targets such as cilia function, which is opening up new avenues for treatment development. Several biopharmaceutical companies have started clinical trials evaluating gene therapy and other novel therapeutic approaches to restore vision in these patients. Senior-Loken (S-L) is an autosomal recessive syndrome and a variant of the nephronophthisis-associated disorders, in which the cystic kidney disease is associated with retinal dystrophy (retinitis pigmentosa or Leber congenital amaurosis). It is a deleterious disease that culminates in blindness and renal failure.
Market Dynamics:
The NPHP5 retinal degeneration treatment market is driven by the high unmet medical need for an effective treatment for this debilitating condition. As per estimates, NPHP5 retinal degeneration has a prevalence of 1 in 200,000 live births globally. The increasing research focus on cilia pathways and recent breakthroughs in retinal gene therapy are further boosting market growth by expanding therapeutic opportunities. However, technical challenges associated with ocular gene delivery and the high costs of developing orphan disease therapies continue to restrain market revenues. On the other hand, partnerships between biotech firms and research institutions, growing public-private funding for rare disease, research and development present lucrative opportunities for market players.
