Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Familial exudative vitreoretinopathy (FEVR) is an inherited ocular disease with clinical manifestations of aberrant retinal vasculature. We aimed to identify novel causative variants responsible for FEVR and provided evidence for the genetic counselling of FEVR. METHODS: We applied whole-exome sequencing (WES) on the genomic DNA samples from the probands and performed Sanger sequencing for variant...
