Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Inherited retinal diseases (IRD) are genetically heterogeneous disorders that cause the dysfunction or loss of photoreceptor cells and ultimately lead to blindness. To date, next-generation sequencing procedures fail to detect pathogenic sequence variants in coding regions of known IRD disease genes in about 30-40% of patients. One of the possible explanations for this missing heritability is the...
