Long-Read Sequencing of the <i>MUC1</i> VNTR: Genomic Variation, Mutational Landscape, and Its Impact on ADTKD Diagnosis and Progression
2025-09-15
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background</h4> ADTKD- MUC1 is caused by frameshift mutations in MUC1 gene that produce a frameshifted protein (MUC1fs) toxic to kidney cells. The gene’s variable number of tandem repeats (VNTR), with high GC content, makes it largely inaccessible to standard sequencing. As a result, both the reference sequence and natural variation in this region remain poorly defined, complicating mutation detection and d...
