Abstract excerpt
Background: Familial exudative vitreoretinopathy (FEVR, OMIM 133780) is a severe inherited eye disease characterized by abnormal development of the retinal vasculature. Variants in the reported genes account for ∼50% of total FEVR cases. However, the pathogenesis of the other 50% of FEVR cases remains unclear. Therefore, it is crucial to identify novel variants responsible for the pathogenesis of FEVR. Aims: To...
