Abstract excerpt
<h4>Purpose</h4> Birdshot Chorioretinopathy (BSCR) is strongly associated with HLA-A29. This study was designed to elucidate the genetic modifiers of BSCR in HLA-A29 carriers. <h4>Methods</h4> We sequenced the largest BSCR cohort to date, including 286 cases and 108 HLA-A29 positive controls to perform genome wide common and rare variant associations. We further typed the HLA alleles of cases and 45,386 HLA-A29 co...
