ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE@#To detect pathogenic gene variants in two Chinese families with cone-rod dystrophy(CORD).@*METHODS@#After the informed consent and comprehensive ophthalmic examinations for the patients, 3 mL peripheral blood was taken from the patients' blood vessel and DNA was extracted. The DNA was sequenced by whole-exome sequencing technology and variants were analyzed.@*RESULTS@#Two novel compound heterozygous AIPL1 variants were detected in two patients, which were c.923T to C (p.L308P) and c.421C to T (p.Q141X) variants in Family 1, c.572T to C (p.L191P) and c.421C to T (p.Q141X) in Family 2.@*CONCLUSION@#The results supported that AIPL1 gene variants are the main cause of the two CORD families. Whole-exome sequencing technology is a useful tool in the clinical differentiated diagnosis and genetic counseling for CORD patients.
