NGS panel analysis in 24 ectopia lentis patients; a clinically relevant test with a high diagnostic yield

The diagnostic yield of our NGS panel was high. Causative mutations were exclusively identified in ADAMTSL4 and FBN1. With this approach the risk of misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis can be reduced. The value and clinical implications of establishing a genetic diagnosis in patients with EL is corroborated by the description of two patients with an unexpected underlying genetic condition.
