This gene is on the Manchester Genetic Retinal Degeneration Conditions panel (covers known genes for isolated progessive retinal degeneration, Leber congenital amaurosis, macular dystrophy, achromatopsia, congenital stationary night blindness as well as the two most common causes of syndromic blindess Usher and Bardet-Biedl syndromes and additional syndromes including Joubert, Senior-Loken, and Cohen syndrome.Created: 2 Jun 2016, 8:06 a.m.
Included in diagnostic panel on basis of a single published association with this gene. However not a proven link and not replicated. In my opinion this does not warrant inclusion.Created: 1 Jun 2016, 10:36 a.m.
