Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Retinitis pigmentosa (RP), a leading cause of inherited blindness, lacks effective treatment, necessitating the elucidation of its pathogenesis and identification of novel therapeutic targets. This study aimed to identify the genetic role of programmed cell death (PCD)-related genes in RP pathogenesis via an integrative multimodal framework. METHODS: We integrated summary-level data from genome-wide...
