Next generation sequencing‐based molecular diagnosis in familial congenital cataract expands the mutational spectrum in known congenital cataract genes
18 Nov 2018
Abstract excerpt
Congenital cataract (CC) is a significant cause of childhood blindness worldwide. CC is a genetically heterogeneous disease because mutations in over 40 genes have been demonstrated to cause the disorder and up to 40% of cases arise from single-gene mutations. Hence, next generation sequencing (NGS) of deoxyribonucleic acid is a suitable approach for CC molecular diagnosis. In this study, we used commercially...
