Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The diagnosis of retinal dystrophies can be challenging due to the spectrum of protean phenotypic manifestations. This study employed trio-whole-exome sequencing (trio-WES) to unveil the genetic cause of an inherited retinal disorder in a south Indian family. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Proband's initial ophthalmic examinations was performed in the year 2016. WES was performed on a proband-parent trio to...
