Abstract excerpt
Background: Excessive repeat sequence expansion in the human genome causes neurodegenerative diseases. Conventional tandem repeat expansion detection methods often fail to amplify GC-rich repeat regions and cannot help in simultaneously detecting multiple regions. To overcome those limitations, we tested the PacBio PureTarget repeat expansion panel, a new target enrichment test without PCR amplification, and...
