Abstract excerpt
Wagner syndrome (WS) is an autosomal dominant vitreoretinopathy affecting various ocular features and is caused by mutations in the canonical splice sites of the VCAN gene, which encodes the large chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan, versican. We report the identification of novel splice acceptor and donor-site mutations (c.4004-1G>C and c.9265+2T>A) in two large WS families from France and the United Kingdom. To...
