Cas9-targeted-based long-read sequencing for genetic screening of RPE65 locus

In order to compare sequencing performance of different technologies in a specific locus, we sequenced blood samples of five inherited retinal dystrophies (IRD) patients harboring a monoallelic variant in RPE65 that remained uncharacterized with: 1) Clinical exome targeted sequencing (CES), 2) whole genome sequencing (WGS), and 3) Long-read sequencing on a MinION platform where CRISPR-Cas9 guide RNA probes were designed to target a 31 kb region including the entire RPE65 locus.
