چکیده
There are two errors in the RP-1164 row and Nucleotide Change and Protein Change columns of Table 1. The mutation c.863dupA should be c.862dupA and the mutation p.M289Y à 18 should be p.T288Nfs à 19. There is also an error in Fig 1 under the panel RP-1164. The mutation p.M289Y à 18 should be p.T288Nfs à 19. Please view the correct Table 1 and Fig 1 here. access article distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original author and source are credited.

Exome Sequencing of Index Patients with Retinal Dystrophies as a Tool for Molecular Diagnosis
BACKGROUND Retinal dystrophies (RD) are a group of hereditary diseases that lead to debilitating visual impairment and are usually transmitted as a Mendelian trait. Pathogenic mutations can occur in any of the 100 or more disease genes identified so far, making molecular diagnosis a rather laborious process. In this work we explored the use of whole exome sequencing (WES) as a tool for identifi...
متن کاملWhole exome sequencing using Ion Proton system enables reliable genetic diagnosis of inherited retinal dystrophies
Inherited retinal dystrophies (IRD) comprise a wide group of clinically and genetically complex diseases that progressively affect the retina. Over recent years, the development of next-generation sequencing (NGS) methods has transformed our ability to diagnose heterogeneous diseases. In this work, we have evaluated the implementation of whole exome sequencing (WES) for the molecular diagnosis ...
متن کاملWhole-exome sequencing identifies novel compound heterozygous mutations in USH2A in Spanish patients with autosomal recessive retinitis pigmentosa
PURPOSE Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is an inherited retinal dystrophy characterized by extreme genetic and clinical heterogeneity. Thus, the diagnosis is not always easily performed due to phenotypic and genetic overlap. Current clinical practices have focused on the systematic evaluation of a set of known genes for each phenotype, but this approach may fail in patients with inaccurate diagnosis ...
متن کاملDiagnostic application of clinical exome sequencing in Leber congenital amaurosis
PURPOSE Leber congenital amaurosis (LCA) is a hereditary retinal dystrophy with wide genetic heterogeneity. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) targeting multiple genes can be a good option for the diagnosis of LCA, and we tested a clinical exome panel in patients with LCA. METHODS A total of nine unrelated Korean patients with LCA were sequenced using the Illumina TruSight One panel, which targ...
متن کاملIROme, a New High-Throughput Molecular Tool for the Diagnosis of Inherited Retinal Dystrophies
The molecular diagnosis of retinal dystrophies is difficult because of the very important number of genes implicated and is rarely helped by genotype-phenotype correlations. This prompted us to develop IROme, a custom designed in solution-based targeted exon capture assay (SeqCap EZ Choice library, Roche NimbleGen) for 60 retinitis pigmentosa-linked genes and three candidate genes (942 exons). ...
