Deep‐intronic variants in CNGB3 cause achromatopsia by pseudoexon activation

Abstract excerpt

Our comprehensive cohort of 1100 unrelated achromatopsia (ACHM) patients comprises a considerable number of cases (~5%) harboring only a single pathogenic variant in the major ACHM gene CNGB3. We sequenced the entire CNGB3 locus in 33 of these patients to find a second variant which eventually explained the patients' phenotype. Forty-seven intronic CNGB3 variants were identified in 28 subjects after a filtering...
