Abstract excerpt
Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is a common autosomal dominant disorder with extensive allelic heterogeneity. Although RNA-based assays can increase sensitivity, their cost and complexity limit their routine use. A DNA-only tiered diagnostic approach was evaluated in 1917 unrelated Korean individuals with clinically suspected NF1. The process began with targeted sequencing of blood-derived genomic DNA, followed by...
