BackgroundMolecular diagnosis of rare disease plateaus at [~]50%, partly due to technical limitations of short-read sequencing and the persistent challenge of interpreting variants of uncertain significance (VUS). Splice-altering variation represents a major source of unresolved cases, yet functional assessment remains difficult in routine practice. MethodsWe developed a fully modular, sample-to-answer workflow for targeted long-read RNA sequencing (lrRNA-seq) using Oxford Nanopore Technologies...
