This meeting will focus on practical approaches to phenotyping and diagnosis in undiagnosed conditions, including how to define next steps when a diagnosis remains uncertain, and how to strengthen pathways and collaboration around undiagnosed care.
Long-read genome sequencing (lrGS) has the potential to consolidate current standard-of-care (SoC) diagnostics into a single assay, but its accuracy and clinical utility in routine practice have not been established at large scale.
A funding opportunity for neuromuscular and rare genetic disease research is now open
This study shows that optical genome mapping accurately detects and sizes pathogenic short tandem repeat expansions, outperforming standard methods for large repeats and revealing somatic instability, supporting its use as a genome-wide diagnostic tool.
