Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: The diagnostic rate for Mendelian diseases by exome sequencing (ES) is typically 20-40%. The low rate is partly because ES misses deep-intronic or synonymous variants leading to aberrant splicing. In this study, we aimed to apply RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) to efficiently detect the aberrant splicings and their related variants. METHODS: Aberrant splicing in biopsied muscles from six nemaline myopathy (NM)...
