Why the study?
Can whole genome sequencing detect large structural rearrangements in genetically unsolved dystrophinopathies?
Can whole genome sequencing detect large structural rearrangements in genetically unsolved dystrophinopathies?
Whole genome sequencing can detect complex structural rearrangements like inversions in the DMD gene, suggesting its utility in genetically unsolved dystrophinopathy cases.
May aid diagnosis of unsolved dystrophinopathies; leaves open routine adoption without further validation.
Our findings elucidate that WGS is capable of detecting large structural rearrangements and might be suitable for the genetic diagnostics of dystrophinopathies in the future. In particular, inversions might be a more frequent cause for dystrophinopathies as anticipated and should be considered in genetically unsolved dystrophinopathy cases.
