Paris, France, Monday, March 4, 2024, 7:30 am CET – GenSight Biologics (Euronext: SIGHT, ISIN: FR0013183985, PEA-PME eligible), a biopharma company focused on discovering and developing innovative gene therapies for retinal neurodegenerative diseases and central nervous system disorders, today announced that new scientific data and analyses on the gene therapy LUMEVOQ® will be presented at the 50th Annual Meeting of the North American Neuro-Ophthalmology Society (NANOS) in Honolulu, Hawaii (March 2-7, 2024).

Leading Leber Hereditary Optic Neuropathy (LHON) Key Opinion Leaders will provide updates on evidence related to the contralateral effect, on real-world experience with LUMEVOQ®, and on the comparison between LHON natural history, idebenone and LUMEVOQ®.
