Abstract excerpt
Myotonic dystrophy type 2 (DM2) is caused by CCTG repeat expansions in the CNBP gene, comprising 75 to >11,000 units and featuring extensive mosaicism, making it challenging to sequence fully expanded alleles. To overcome these limitations, we used PCR-free Cas9-mediated nanopore sequencing to characterize CNBP repeat expansions at the single-nucleotide level in nine DM2 patients. The length of normal and...
