Abstract excerpt
Inherited retinal degenerations (IRDs) are the leading cause of blindness in working-age adults and are thought to be monogenic with near-complete penetrance. However, traditional variant discovery based on phenotypic ascertainment may inflate penetrance estimates and obscure the true genotype-phenotype spectrum. We used large biobanks with linked genomic and clinical data to quantify the population-level...
