Grant Activity:
A national long-read genome sequencing program to improve rare disease diagnosis
Purpose:
Established technologies for genomic sequencing fail to deliver a diagnosis in around half of all patients with rare genetic diseases. Evidence suggests that many diagnoses are missed due to technical blindspots that may be resolved by a new generation of technologies, known as ‘long-read sequencing’. Here we propose to establish a national program for long-read sequencing that will address challenging unsolved cases, streamline and improve diagnosis of patients with rare genetic disease.
