Abstract excerpt
Developmental epileptic encephalopathy (DEE) comprises neurodevelopmental disorders with early-onset seizures and developmental impairment. Despite >900 implicated genes, many patients remain undiagnosed after short-read sequencing (SRS). We assessed long-read genome sequencing (LR-GS) in 38 previously unsolved infantile-onset DEE probands (10 singletons, 28 trios). Variant detection included single nucleotide...
