Abstract

Small in-frame insertion-deletion (indel) variants are a common form of genomic variation whose impact on rare disease phenotypes has been understudied. The prediction of the pathogenicity of such variants remains challenging. X-linked incomplete congenital stationary night blindness type 2 (CSNB2) is a nonprogressive, inherited retinal disorder caused by variants in CACNA1F, encoding the Cav1.4α1…
