Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Gene identification of hereditary kidney diseases by DNA sequencing is important for precise diagnosis, treatment, and genetic consultations. However, the conventional Sanger sequencing is now practically powerless in the face of ever increasing numbers of reported causative genes of various hereditary diseases. The advent of next-generation sequencing technology has enabled large-scale, genome-wide,...
