Detection of pericentric inversion with breakpoint in DMD by whole genome sequencing

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Dystrophinopathies caused by variants in the DMD gene are a well-studied muscle disease. The most common type of variant in DMD are large deletions. Very rarely reported forms of variants are chromosomal translocations, inversions and deep intronic variants (DIVs) because they are not detectable by standard diagnostic techniques (sequencing of coding sequence, copy number variant detection).
