A single NGS‐based assay covering the entire genomic sequence of the DMD gene facilitates diagnostic and newborn screening confirmatory testing

Abstract excerpt

Molecular diagnosis for Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophies (DMD/BMD) involves a two-tiered approach for detection of deletions/duplications using MLPA or array CGH, followed by sequencing of coding and flanking intronic regions to detect sequence variants, which is time-consuming and expensive. We have developed a comprehensive next-generation sequencing (NGS)-based single-step assay to sequence the entire...
