Abstract excerpt
In a clinical setting, exome sequencing (ES) with copy number variant (CNV) analysis is currently the most effective approach for developmental and epileptic encephalopathies (DEE). However, trio-based ES is often not feasible in adults, its costs remain prohibitive in certain health care settings, and computational tools for CNV calling still lack sufficient accuracy. Chromosomal microarray (CMA) is indicated as...
