Effectiveness of whole-exome sequencing for the identification of causal mutations in patients with suspected inherited ocular diseases

Abstract: Background: Genetic eye disorders, affecting around one in 1000 people, encompass a diverse group of diseases causing severe visual deficiency. The recent adoption of next-generation sequencing techniques, including whole-exome sequencing (WES), in medicine has greatly enhanced diagnostic rates of genetically heterogeneous diseases. Objectives: The objectives of the study were to assess the diagnostic yield of WES in a cohort of Mexican individuals with suspected genetic eye disorders and to evaluate the impro… Show more

“…The WES genomic testing conducted in this cohort of ten patients with complex ocular and systemic manifestations yielded a diagnosis in 40% of the patients, which is slightly similar to the reported diagnostic yield in the literature for Mexico (47%) 16 . Among the three disease-causing genotypes identified in Patients 1–3, the LPV of TRRAP p.(Ala1043Thr), identified in Patient 3, is the only genotype previously reported in five individuals with syndromic intellectual disability (ID) with malformations.…”
