Update on Inherited Retinal Disease in South Africa: Encouraging Diversity in Molecular Genetics.

Advances in experimental medicine and biology - 1 Jan 2019

Roberts Lisa, Rebello George, Greenberg Jacquie, Ramesar Raj

Abstract excerpt

There is a glaring disparity in the populations included in genetic research; the majority of work involves European-derived cohorts, while other global populations - including Africans - are underrepresented. This is also true for the study of inherited retinal diseases. Being the most ancient of extant populations, African samples carry more variation than others, making them valuable for novel gene and variant...
