A novel duplication of PRMD13 causes North Carolina macular dystrophy: overexpression of PRDM13 orthologue in drosophila eye reproduces the human phenotype
17 Aug 2017
Abstract excerpt
In this study, we report a novel duplication causing North Carolina macular dystrophy (NCMD) identified applying whole genome sequencing performed on eight affected members of two presumed unrelated families mapping to the MCDR1 locus. In our families, the NCMD phenotype was associated with a 98.4 kb tandem duplication encompassing the entire CCNC and PRDM13 genes and a common DNase 1 hypersensitivity site. To...
