    1. Carrier frequency analysis of mutations causing autosomal-recessive-inherited retinal diseases in the Israeli population

      PMID: 29706639

      Gene: ABCA4

      HGNCID: HGNC:34

      MonDO: MONDO:0019353

      Bioinformatic analyses of an SQL-based database containing 12272 variants that appear in 178 IRD genes in 5706 individuals of Ashkenazi Jewish origin based on the gnomAD database (version 2) and variants that were published in the scientific literature that was extracted from HGMD. Authors extracted information regarding IRD variants from various sources (including data of 5706 Ashkenazi Jewish (AJ) samples and a large cohort of Israeli patients with IRDs) to estimate carrier frequency of IRD mutations in different subpopulations in Israel. Two major databases aiming to estimate carrier frequency of IRD mutations in the Israeli population (Fig. 1): “gnomAD-AJ-IRD DB” containing data of 5706 AJ controls extracted from gnomAD and “HW-IRD DB” containing data extracted from our cohort of Israeli patients with IRDs.

      See Fig 2 for breakdown of variants analyzed.

      The final DB (IRDB) (Fig. 1 and Table S7) includes all 399 variants from “gnomAD-AJ-IRD DB” and “HW-IRD DB” that were considered here as pathogenic mutations in 111 known IRD genes.

      To establish the “HW-IRD DB” (Fig. 1), we collected data on Israeli IRD patients with a known cause of disease (a cohort of >2000 IRD families). The HW-IRD DB includes 289 pathogenic mutations (Fig. 1) that were identified in IRD patients who have biallelic variants.

      SupplementalData: S7, carrier frequency data for each mutation in all nine studied subpopulations. Carrier frequency was calculated as 2pq where p = 1 − q and q was calculated as the root square of the number of homozygous patients plus half the number of compound heterozygous patients divided by the population size
