A Diagnostic Blind Spot: Deep intronic SVA_E Insertion identified as the most Common Pathogenic Variant Associated with Canavan Disease
2024-12-21
Abstract excerpt
Canavan disease (CD) is a neurodegenerative disorder caused by biallelic disease-causing variants in the ASPA gene. Here, we utilized long-read sequencing (LRS) to investigate eight individuals clinically diagnosed with Canavan disease but without definitive genetic diagnoses. Our analyses identified a recurring previously unreported intronic SVA_E retrotransposon insertion within ASPA in all eight individuals. Su...
