Long-read sequencing to help bridge the diagnostic gap in rare Mendelian conditions with Emmanuèle C. Délot, PhD

• The presentation will draw examples from the speaker's experience with the GREGoR consortium and the Differences of Sex Development Translational Research Network (DSD-TRN) to discuss the strengths and limitations of emerging technology in identifying  causative variants in rare Medelian conditions.

  Level of Instruction: Advanced
