A recent report from Jeonbuk National University Medical School in South Korea discusses the use of gene panel sequencing to improve the diagnosis of hereditary ophthalmic diseases. The study found that gene panel sequencing allowed for a greater number of patients to receive a genetic diagnosis for their clinical manifestations. Through additional gene panel sequencing, the researchers identified several genetic variants associated with hereditary ophthalmic diseases. However, fully understanding the clinical manifestations of these variants proved challenging. The study concludes that gene panel sequencing can be a valuable tool for diagnosing hereditary ophthalmic diseases, even in cases where a single genetic cause is suspected.
