Mobile element insertion detection in 89,874 clinical exomes

Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE: Exome sequencing (ES) is increasingly used for the diagnosis of rare genetic disease. However, some pathogenic sequence variants within the exome go undetected due to the technical difficulty of identifying them. Mobile element insertions (MEIs) are a known cause of genetic disease in humans but have been historically difficult to detect via ES and similar targeted sequencing methods. METHODS: We...
