Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Next-generation sequencing has been proven to be a reliable method for the detection of genetic causes in heterogeneous ocular disorders. In this report an NGS-based diagnostic approach was taken to uncover the genetic etiology in a patient with coloboma and microphthalmia, a highly heterogeneous disease with intrafamilial phenotypic variability. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Next generation sequencing using...
