Abstract:Background: A subset of developmental disorders (DD) is characterized by disease-specific genome-wide methylation changes. These episignatures inform about underlying pathogenic mechanisms and can be used to assess the pathogenicity of genomic variants as well as confirm clinical diagnoses. Currently, episignature detection requires the use of indirect methylation profiling microarrays. We hypothesized that long-read whole genome sequencing would not only enable the detection of single nucleotide variants and … Show more
