The cryptic complex rearrangements involving the DMD gene: etiologic clues about phenotypical differences revealed by optical genome mapping

Abstract Background Deletion or duplication in the DMD gene is one of the most common causes of Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophy (DMD/BMD). However, the pathogenicity of complex rearrangements involving DMD, especially segmental duplications with unknown breakpoints, is not well understood. Th...
