Abstract excerpt
Short tandem repeats (STRs) and variable-number tandem repeats (VNTRs) are repetitive genomic sequences seen widely throughout the genome. These repeat expansions are currently known to cause ∼60 diseases, with expansions in new loci linked to rare diseases continuing to be discovered. Genome sequencing is an important tool for detecting disease-causing variants and several computational tools have been developed...
