An audit of genetic testing in diagnosis of inherited retinal disorders: a prerequisite for gene-specific intervention.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: There has been an exponential increase in the number of genes implicated in inherited retinal disease over the last decade, but the genetic and phenotypic heterogeneity limited mutation detection. The high cost of sequencing and long turn around times meant that gene testing was not a viable option, particularly in New Zealand. Recently, advancements including development of micro-array-based mutation...
