Accurate and simple FXN-GAA repeats (Friedreich ataxia loci) estimation by long read targeted sequencing
2022-02-24
Abstract excerpt
Friedreich ataxia, an autosomal recessive disorder is caused by tandem GAA nucleotide repeats expansion in intron 1 of the FXN (frataxin gene). The GAA repeats above 66 in length are considered as pathogenic and commonly occurring repeats are 600-1200. Clinically the spectrum of the features is confined mainly to the neurological tissue, however, cardiomyopathy and diabetes mellitus has been observed in 60% and 30...
