A Multistage Sequencing Strategy Pinpoints Many Novel and Candidate Disease Alleles for Orphan Disease Emery-Dreifuss Muscular Dystrophy and Supports Gene Misregulation as its Pathomechanism

2019-07-17

Abstract excerpt

Limitations of genome-wide approaches for genetically-heterogenous orphan diseases led us to develop a new approach to identify novel Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy (EDMD) candidate genes. We generated a primer library to genes: (I) linked to EDMD, (II) mutated in related muscular dystrophies, (III) highlighted from limited exome sequencing, (IV) encoding muscle-specific nuclear membrane proteins. Sequencing 56...
