Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To identify pathogenic mutations responsible for retinal dystrophies (RDs) in three unrelated Chinese families. METHODS: Three probands from unrelated families with RDs were recruited. Genomic DNA prepared from leukocytes was analyzed using gene chip-based next-generation sequencing (NGS) to capture and sequence all of the exons of 100 known RD-associated genes. Candidate variants were validated with PCR...
