Abstract excerpt
Purpose: Birdshot chorioretinopathy (BSCR) is strongly associated with HLA-A29. This study was designed to elucidate the genetic modifiers of BSCR in HLA-A29 carriers. Methods: We sequenced the largest BSCR cohort to date, including 286 cases and 108 HLA-A29-positive controls to determine genome-wide common and rare variant associations. We further typed the HLA alleles of cases and 45,386 HLA-A29 controls of...
