Opal was born completely deaf because of a rare genetic condition, auditory neuropathy. With early genomic testing from her local hospital in Oxford, she was found to be eligible for a gene therapy trial at Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. Within 4 weeks of having the infusion, Opal responded to sound. Clinicians noticed continuous improvement in Opal’s hearing in the weeks afterwards and at 24 weeks confirmed close to normal hearing levels for soft sounds, such as whispering, in her treated ear. https://lnkd.in/eRai82Sx #genomics #research
