Effective smMIPs-Based Sequencing of Maculopathy-Associated Genes in Stargardt Disease Cases and Allied Maculopathies from the UK

Abstract: Macular dystrophies are a group of individually rare but collectively common inherited retinal dystrophies characterised by central vision loss and loss of visual acuity. Single molecule Molecular Inversion Probes (smMIPs) have proved effective in identifying genetic variants causing macular dystrophy. Here, a previously established smMIPs panel tailored for genes associated with macular diseases has been used to examine 57 UK macular dystrophy cases, achieving a high solve rate of 63.2% (36/57). Among 27 bi-a… Show more

“…McClinton et al recently described a strategy using single-molecule molecular inversion probe (smMIP)-based sequencing; this strategy provides a coverage of 97.4% of the ABCA4 gene [55]. Despite the significant advantage of massive parallel sequencing, the main issue related to these new techniques is the consistent number of resulting information that requires a complex bioinformatic interpretation process and carries levels of uncertain significance [7].…”
