Eye health: The paper discusses Cone-Rod Dystrophies (CORDs), a group of inherited retinopathies that affect eye health, and identifies potential modifier genes that may impact the heterogeneity of CORD.
Genetics: The paper uses next-generation sequencing to identify the GUCY2D gene as the causative gene for CORD in the studied family and identifies six novel candidate modifier genes.
Education and learning: The paper contributes to the understanding of the genetic basis of CORD, providing new insights that could be used in educational settings to teach about the complexity of genetic diseases.
