Abstract excerpt
Congenital autosomal recessive cataract with unknown genetic etiology is one of the most common Mendelian diseases among the Turkic-speaking Yakut population (Eastern Siberia, Russia). To identify the genetic cause of congenital cataract spread in this population, we performed whole-exome sequencing (Illumina NextSeq 500) in one Yakut family with three affected siblings whose parents had preserved vision. We have...
