The International Choroideremia Research Network (ICRN) is a global collaboration of research groups from renowned institutions who are working in concert to improve knowledge about choroideremia etiology, prevention, early detection, treatment, and prognosis. The network is comprised of highly talented individuals from a spectrum of disciplines, perspectives, and research methods who share a passion to make significant scientific advances to improve outcomes for patients with choroideremia.
Established in Summer 2021, the ICRN already has over 100 members from 25 countries. The ICRN meets as a whole both in person and/or virtually at least twice per year and current working groups in the areas of female carriers, international data collection, pathophysiology and therapies/clinical trials meet quarterly.
