The Curing Retinal Blindness Foundation is proud to partner with Sanford Research, a nonprofit research institution, to create a CRB1 LCA/RP patient registry.

It’s here! The CRBF and Coordination of Rare Disease at Sanford (CoRDS) Patient Registry for CRB1 LCA/RP.

For Families

What is the purpose of the Registry?

While there are many benefits to a patient regisry, the following are a few highlights:

  • Enable the Curing Retinal Blindness Foundation to provide you with information about research for people with your inherited retinal disease, including clinical trials
  • Enable the collection and sharing of information about CRB1 LCA/RP from a large number of patients with the research and medical community, so that scientists and doctors can better understand this disease and how to treat it.
  • Connect scientists studying CRB1 LCA/RP diseases with patients in the registry who may qualify for their research studies or clinical trials.
