Abstract excerpt
Purpose: To identify novel candidates for cataract and evaluate the contribution of protein-coding variants to cataract susceptibility. Methods: We first leveraged a publicly-available browser, Genebass, to extract significant gene-based and single-variant association results for cataract in UK Biobank exomes (30,550 cataract cases and 364,291 controls). We then validated findings using genome-wide association...
