| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Several kinds of mutations including rearrangements and repeat expansions as well as single nucleotide variants and short insertion/deletions cause neurodegenerative and neuromuscular disorders. Usual exome sequencing, however, overlook some of the mutations. To overcome this, I performed whole genome sequencing using a short read sequencer and a long read sequencer. Some of the mutations can only be delineated by the long read sequencer, indicating the importance of long read sequencing. This strategy will help us to understand the molecular mechanism of neurodegenerative disorders.
