Target enrichment and high‐throughput sequencing of 80 ribosomal protein genes to identify mutations associated with Diamond‐Blackfan anaemia

Abstract excerpt

Diamond-Blackfan anaemia (DBA) is caused by inactivating mutations in ribosomal protein (RP) genes, with mutations in 13 of the 80 RP genes accounting for 50-60% of cases. The remaining 40-50% cases may harbour mutations in one of the remaining RP genes, but the very low frequencies render conventional genetic screening as challenging. We, therefore, applied custom enrichment technology combined with...
