Next-Generation Sequencing of Targeted Capture Genes a Sensitive Method for Diagnosis of Inherited Eye Disorders

A recent study showed that a targeted enrichment and next-generation sequencing method for genetic diagnostic testing of patients with inherited eye disorders was more accurate and sensitive than an approach based on exome sequencing, which focuses on the DNA in the 1% of the human genome that code for proteins.  More...
