Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Next-generation sequencing (NGS) has been demonstrated to be an effective strategy for the detection of mutations in retinal dystrophies, a group of inherited diseases that are highly heterogeneous. Therefore, the aim of this study is the application of an NGS-based approach in a Spanish cohort of autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa (RP) patients to find out causative mutations.
