This note:
"One limitation of the study is that it didn’t nail down any new disease genes that could lead to drug targets. That’s because the gene-disabling variants were rare—often found in only one or two individuals—and it takes more to make a statistically significant connection with a disease risk. “Even with 50,000, the numbers are very, very small,” Roden says."

contradict Yan (several times repeated) statements that they already did identified NEW rare mutation(s) as potential critical "disease" mutation. I do not know whom to believe, but sure they will not ring all bells just to promote RGC. Wouldn't they?
