Abstract excerpt
Inherited retinal dystrophies (IRDs), displaying pronounced genetic and clinical heterogeneity, comprise of a broad range of diseases characterized by progressive retinal cell death and gradual loss of vision. By the combined use of whole exome sequencing (WES), SNP-array and WES-based homozygosity mapping, as well as directed DNA sequencing (Sanger), we have identified nine pathogenic variants in six genes...
