Popis: PurposeTo identify specific mutations causing North Carolina macular dystrophy (NCMD).DesignWhole-genome sequencing coupled with reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) analysis of gene expression in human retinal cells.ParticipantsA total of 141 members of 12 families with NCMD and 261 unrelated control individuals.MethodsGenome sequencing was performed on 8 affected individuals from 3 families affected with chromosome 6–linked NCMD (MCDR1) and 2 individuals affected with chromosome 5–linked NCMD (MCDR3). Variants observed in the MCDR1 locus with frequencies
