Abstract excerpt
Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is caused by a CTG repeat expansion in the DMPK gene, but conventional polymerase chain reaction and Southern blot-based workflows provide limited resolution for large expansions and somatic mosaicism. This pilot study evaluated Oxford Nanopore PromethION sequencing with adaptive sampling for DMPK repeat expansion sizing. Fifteen samples, including Coriell reference materials,...
