Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To identify the molecular basis of inherited retinal degeneration (IRD) in a familial case of Pakistani origin using whole-exome sequencing. METHODS: A thorough ophthalmic examination was completed, and genomic DNA was extracted using standard protocols. Whole exome(s) were captured with Agilent V5 + UTRs probes and sequenced on Illumina HiSeq genome analyzer. The exomeSuite software was used to filter...
