Your asking a question that has a very complex answer. In short, no, this would not mean anything relevant for RP, although you are correct in the similarities of RP and MD. Also, keep in mind that neovascularization is a symptom of MD, not the cause (thus the problem I have with this article). Furthermore, you are correct that they both have a genetic basis, but RP is more directly correlated with several types of genetic mutations than MD,

@Patrick 2 That is as I figured. Thanks for the reply. Will keep waiting on gene therapy, programmed stem-cell transplants, bionic retinas, etc. :)
