Whole-exome sequencing identifies two novel ALMS1 mutations in Indian patients with Leber congenital amaurosis

Abstract Leber congenital amaurosis (LCA) is a severe autosomal recessive retinal degenerative disease. The current study describes exome sequencing results for two unrelated Indian LCA patients carrying novel nonsense p.(Glu636*) and frameshift p.(Pro2281Leufs*63) mutations in the ALMS1 gene. Altho...
