Abstract excerpt
Until the mid-2000s, knowledge about the genetic causes of retinal dystrophies was not adequately translated into molecular diagnostics and genetic counselling offered to the patients. Although many genes whose mutations underlie retinal degeneration, e.g., retinitis pigmentosa, Leber congenital amaurosis and cone-rod dystrophies were known, they could not be analyzed on a routine diagnostic basis because DNA...
