Purpose: To provide a genotype and phenotype characterization of the BEST1 mutation in Chinese patients with autosomal recessive bestrophinopathy (ARB) through multimodal imaging and next-generation sequencing (NGS).
Methods: Seventeen patients from 17 unrelated families of Chinese origin with ARB were included in a retrospective cohort study. Phenotypic characteristics, including anterior segment features, were assessed by multimodal imaging.
