Abstract excerpt
Purpose: Familial exudative vitreoretinopathy (FEVR) is a blinding retinal vascular disease. Clinically, FEVR is characterized by incomplete vascularization of the peripheral retina and pathological neovascularization. Only about 50% of FEVR cases can be explained by known FEVR disease gene variations. This study aimed to identify novel genes associated with the FEVR phenotype and explore their pathogenic...
