Whole genome sequencing and in vitro splice assays reveal genetic causes for inherited retinal diseases

Abstract Inherited retinal diseases (IRDs) are a major cause of visual impairment. These clinically heterogeneous disorders are caused by pathogenic variants in more than 270 genes. As 30–40% of cases remain genetically unexplained following conventional genetic testing, we aimed to obtain a genetic...
