Challenges in identifying large germline structural variants for clinical use by long read sequencing.


ABSTRACT: Genomic structural variations, previously considered rare events, are widely recognized as a major source of inter-individual variability and hence, a major hurdle in optimum patient stratification and disease management. Herein, we focus on large complex germline structural variations and present challenges towards target treatment via the synergy of state-of-the-art approaches and information technology tools. A complex structural variation detection remains challenging, as there is no gold standard for identifying such genomic variations with long reads, especially when the chromosomal rearrangement in question is a few Mb in length. A clinical case with a large complex chromosomal rearrangement serves as a paradigm. We feel that functional validation and data interpretation are of outmost importance for information growth to be translated into knowledge growth and hence, new working practices are highlighted.
