This study aims to decipher the role of short tandem repeats (STRs) in epilepsy patients. Whole genome short-read sequencing data of 734 epileptic patients was used to look for known STR expansions associated with increased risk of neurodevelopmental diseases or epilepsy using three different software. Results show one hit of particular interest on ARX gene associated with Early Infantile Encephalopathic Epilepsy that could be causal for one patient with developmental and epileptic encephalopathy. However, we show that the different software do not agree on most of the calls above the threshold and that experimental validation is still needed for diagnostic, although these algorithms could prove useful for pre-selection of samples to be validated.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
