Abstract excerpt
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is a relatively frequent disease with a prevalence of 0.2% worldwide and a remarkable genetic heterogeneity, with more than 30 causative genes reported to date. Current PCR-based strategies are inadequate for genomic investigations involving many candidate genes. Here, we report a next-generation sequencing procedure associated with DNA sequence capture that is able to sequence 202...
