Abstract excerpt
Short tandem repeat (STR) expansions are a major cause of neurodegenerative disorders; however, their genetic and clinical heterogeneity complicates diagnosis. STR detection remains limited in routine short-read next-generation sequencing (NGS) workflows. We evaluated the diagnostic yield and clinical utility of computational STR genotyping in a large Turkish neurodegenerative disease cohort. ExpansionHunter was...
