Abstract
Discovery of the gene responsible for a recessive, early-onset maculopathy has focused attention on a biomolecular pathway in which subtle metabolic flaws become toxic to irreplaceable retinal cells. The pathway's identification points toward specific ways of intervening. Among patients with age-related macular degeneration, carriers of single mutations in the same gene are proving to be remarkably common.
