Key inclusion & exclusion criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

- Adult male or female over 18 years of age. Clinical diagnosis of SMD If known, the
patient"s genotype will be recorded in the medical history, if unknown, patient will
allow for the submission of a sample for genotyping.

Independently verified clinical findings consistent with SMD. The visual acuity of the eye
to receive the transplant will be no better than 20/400. The visual acuity of the eye in
the better vision cohort to receive the transplant will be no better than 20/100.

The visual acuity of the eye that is not to receive the transplant will be no better than
20/400 for the worse vision patients and no worse than 20/100 for the better vision
patients.

Electrophysiological findings consistent with SMD . Medically suitable to undergo
vitrectomy and subretinal injection. Medically suitable for general anaesthesia or waking
sedation, if needed.

Medically suitable for transplantation of an embryonic stem cell line:

lesions; negative fecal occult blood test negative chest roentgenogram (CXR); normal CBC &
manual differential; negative urinalysis (U/A);normal thyroid exam and thyroid panel; if
male, normal testicular examination; if over age 40, digital rectal examination (DRE) and
