Abstract excerpt
Purpose: To identify the missing heritability of ABCA4-related retinopathy in a Chinese cohort. Methods: We recruited 33 unrelated patients with ABCA4-related retinopathy carrying a monoallelic variant in ABCA4. All patients underwent ophthalmic examinations. Next-generation sequencing of the whole ABCA4 sequence, including coding and noncoding regions, was performed to detect deep intronic variants (DIVs) and...
