New pathogenic variants of ALMS1 gene in two Chinese families with Alström Syndrome [PDF]

BMC Ophthalmology, 2022
Purpose Alström Syndrome (AS) is an autosomal recessive hereditary disease with the characteristics of multiorgan dysfunction. Due to the heterogeneity of clinical manifestations of AS, genetic testing is crucial for the diagnosis of AS.
