Abstract excerpt
Homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HoFH) is a rare genetic disorder, and a genetic analysis is important to make a definitive diagnosis. A comprehensive genetic analysis using next generation sequencing (NGS) and whole exome sequencing (WES) is feasible. However, the application of NGS in the assessment of genomic structural variations is generally limited, and a substantial number of control samples are...
