Abstract excerpt
Inherited retinal diseases (IRDs) are a group of rare monogenic diseases with high genetic heterogeneity (pathogenic variants identified in over 280 causative genes). The genetic diagnostic rate for IRDs is around 60%, mainly thanks to the routine application of next-generation sequencing (NGS) approaches such as extensive gene panels or whole exome analyses. Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) has been reported to...
