Complex structural variants in Mendelian disorders: identification and breakpoint resolution using short- and long-read genome sequencing

Abstract Background Studies have shown that complex structural variants (cxSVs) contribute to human genomic variation and can cause Mendelian disease. We aimed to identify cxSVs relevant to Mendelian disease using short-read whole-genome sequencing (WGS), resolve the precise variant configuration an...
