The funding will go toward the continued clinical development of the company’s lead asset, AGTC-501 (laruparetigene zovaparvovec)

The multi-institutional found that a genetic variation common in people of African ancestry is linked with an increased risk of complications from diabetes, including diabetic retinopathy, which has previously been linked to genetic variations called single nucleotide polymorphisms, or SNPs, but these associations have been studied primarily in individuals of European and Asian ancestry.

The results were presented at a symposium during the American Diabetes Association's 84th Scientific Sessions in Orlando, Florida, and mark the first large-scale trial specifically designed to investigate the effect of fenofibrate on eye outcomes in people with early diabetic retinopathy.

Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis for years have worked to understand the rare condition known as retinal vasculopathy with cerebral leukoencephalopathy and systemic manifestations.
