Genotype-phenotype correlations for 17 Chinese families with inherited retinal dystrophies due to homozygous variants by Xue Fan, Zhen Li, Lingzhi Sha, Xunlun Sheng, Weining Rong

“…The results of the study indicate that more than 80% of persons with homozygous variant originated from non-consanguineous families, emphasizing the significance of genetic screening for individuals who lack a family history of consanguineous marriage and no obvious clinical phenotypes, but who may carry genetic pathogenic variants for genetic diseases. Furthermore, by analyzing the genotypes and clinical phenotypes of IRD patients from these 17 Chinese families, we have expanded the spectrum of variants in known pathogenic genes for IRDs and the range of clinical phenotypes associated with variants in these genes. …”
