Inherited retinal diseases (IRDs) are a heterogeneous group of blinding genetic disorders caused by pathogenic variants in genes expressed in the retina. In this study, we sought to develop a method for rapid evaluation of IRD gene variant pathogenicity by inducing expression of retinal genes in patient-derived fibroblasts using CRISPR-activation (CRISPRa). We demonstrate CRISPRa of
