A Diagnostic Blind Spot: Deep intronic SVA_E Insertion identified as the most Common Pathogenic Variant Associated with Canavan Disease
Canavan disease (CD) is a neurodegenerative disorder caused by biallelic disease-causing variants in the ASPA gene. Here, we utilized long-read sequencing (LRS) to investigate eight individuals clinic...
