Prioritizing variants of uncertain significance for reclassification using a rule-based algorithm in inherited retinal dystrophies

Abstract Inherited retinal dystrophies (IRD) are a highly heterogeneous group of rare diseases with a molecular diagnostic rate of >50%. Reclassification of variants of uncertain significance (VUS) poses a challenge for IRD diagnosis. We collected 668 IRD cases analyzed by our geneticists using t...
