Combining a prioritization strategy and functional studies nominates 5’UTR variants underlying inherited retinal disease

Abstract Background 5’ untranslated regions (5’UTRs) are essential modulators of protein translation. Predicting the impact of 5’UTR variants is challenging and rarely performed in routine diagnostics. Here, we present a combined approach of a comprehensive prioritization strategy and functional ass...
