Global medical associations (ACOG, ISUOG, ACMG) recommend diagnostic prenatal testing for the detection and prevention of genetic disorders. Historically, cytogenetic methods such …
Chromosome banding analysis (CBA) remains the standard-of-care for structural variant (SV) assessment in MDS. Optical genome mapping (OGM) is a novel, non-sequencing …
We developed a generally applicable method, CRISPR/Cas9-targeted long-read sequencing (CTLR-Seq), to resolve, haplotype-specifically, the large and complex regions in …
Transposons are repetitive DNA sequences encompassing about half of the human genome. They play a vital role in genome stability maintenance and contribute to genomic …

The purpose of this study was to explore the copy number variations (CNVs) associated with miscarriage during early and middle pregnancy and provide useful genetic guidance for …
Chromosomal structural variations (SVs) are a main cause of human genetic disease. Currently, karyotype, chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA), and fluorescent in situ …

Segmental duplications or low copy repeats (LCRs) constitute duplicated regions interspersed in the human genome, currently neglected in standard analyses due to their …
LCR22s are among the most complex loci in the human genome and are susceptible to nonallelic homologous recombination. This can lead to a variety of genomic disorders …
Chromosomal 22q11. 2 deletion syndrome (22q11. 2DS)(ORPHA: 567) caused by microdeletion in chromosome 22 is the most common chromosomal microdeletion disorder …
