Although the present pilot centers on AIPL1, an identical network can be re-trained for other LCA genotypes, such as CEP290, GUCY2D, RPE65 or CRX, simply by adding the corresponding binary genotype flags and fine-tuning on larger, multicenter datasets, thereby extending its utility to broader pediatric populations. The gene discussed is AIPL1; the disease is Leber congenital amaurosis.
