Panel-based next generation sequencing as a reliable and efficient technique to detect mutations in unselected patients with retinal dystrophies

Abstract: Hereditary retinal dystrophies (RD) constitute a group of blinding diseases that are characterized by clinical variability and pronounced genetic heterogeneity. The different forms of RD can be caused by mutations in 4100 genes, including 41600 exons. Consequently, next generation sequencing (NGS) technologies are among the most promising approaches to identify mutations in RD. So far, NGS is not routinely used in gene diagnostics. We developed a diagnostic NGS pipeline to identify mutations in 170 genetically… Show more

“…It is usually stated that the analysis of known BBS genes detects biallelic mutations in ∼ 80% of BBS patients Forsythe and Beales, 2013;Glöckle et al, 2014]. There are a number of limitations related to this issue.…”

“…This mutation, together with the known splice-site mutation c.3317-2A>G, has been described in a sporadic ARRP patient. 9 Interestingly, it is located in a homozygous region of only 1.5 Mb, in which the USH2A gene is only partially located (see Supplementary Figure S2 online).…”
