Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To identify novel genetic causes of Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD) within a genetically unsolved patient cohort lacking repeat expansions in the TCF4 gene (Exp-). METHODS: A rare variant analysis framework (CoCoRV) was applied to exome data, in combination with in silico modeling, luciferase reporter, and RNA-seq analysis to characterize transcriptome-wide consequences of identified variants....
