Diagnostic analysis of the highly complex OPN1LW/OPN1MW gene cluster using long-read sequencing and MLPA

Abstract Pathogenic variants in the OPN1LW/OPN1MW gene cluster are causal for a range of mild to severe visual impairments with color deficiencies. The widely utilized short-read next-generation sequencing (NGS) is inappropriate for the analysis of the OPN1LW/OPN1MW gene cluster and many patients wi...
