Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Absence of heterozygosity (AOH) is a genetic characteristic known to cause human genetic disorders through autosomal recessive or imprinting mechanisms. However, the analysis of AOH via low-pass genome sequencing (GS) is not yet clinically available. METHODS: Low-pass GS (fourfold) with different types of libraries was performed on 17 clinical samples with previously ascertained AOH by chromosomal...
