Evaluation of PacBio Long-Read and PCR-Based Short-Read Sequencing for Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) Variant Detection, with an Emphasis on Detection and Quantification of mtDNA Deletion.

Abstract excerpt

Accurate detection of all types of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) variants, including single large-scale mtDNA deletions (SLSMDs) and multiple mtDNA deletions (MMDs), along with heteroplasmy quantification, is essential for Primary Mitochondrial Disease (PMD) diagnosis. This study compares amplification-free PacBio long-read sequencing (LRS) mtDNA analysis with long-range PCR-based targeted mtDNA sequencing by...
