The Oxidative–Mitochondrial–Inflammatory Axis in Retinitis Pigmentosa: Extracellular mtDNA as Biomarker and Therapeutic Read-Out
Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is the most common inherited retinal dystrophy (prevalence ~1:4000) and a leading Mendelian cause of working-age blindness. Despite marked genetic heterogeneity, its progression converges on a common secondary cascade of outer-retinal hyperoxia, increased reactive oxygen species (ROS), and mit...
