Challenges facing genetic diagnostics of Huntington’s disease: an update
In contrast, long-read sequencing (LRS) generates read lengths of over 10 kb and can thus overcome the limitations associated with short reads. This enables detailed investigation of repeat sequences and the identification of complex patterns of alternating sequence motifs, potentially providing additional clinically relevant information.
