Genome-wide detection of somatic mosaicism at short tandem repeats
2023-11-23
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Motivation</h4> Somatic mosaicism, in which a mutation occurs post-zygotically, has been implicated in several developmental disorders, cancers, and other diseases. Short tandem repeats (STRs) consist of repeated sequences of 1-6bp and comprise more than 1 million loci in the human genome. Somatic mosaicism at STRs is known to play a key role in the pathogenicity of loci implicated in repeat expansion disorde...
