Combination of Panel-based Next-Generation Sequencing and Clinical Findings in Congenital Ectopia Lentis Diagnosed in Chinese Patients

The results of this cohort study expand the genomic landscape associated with congenital EL in Chinese cohorts. FBN1 mutations represent the most common cause of congenital EL in this population, and we have developed a new diagnostic strategy for congenital EL subtypes via the use of a well-designed panel-based next-generation sequencing that can be used to efficiently and precisely diagnose patients with congenital EL in a cost-effective manner.
