Abstract
To evaluate the performance of optical genome mapping (OGM) in identifying an inversion located in the short arm of chromosome 8 (8p, 8p23.1), flanked by regions of complex segmental duplication (SD), using the GRCh38 and telomere-to-telomere (T2T) genome references.
We investigated a couple suspected of carrying the 8p23.1 inversion due to a terminal deletion combined with an interstitial duplication of 8p found in their abortus. OGM was performed on both individuals. The data were mapped to the current GRCh38 and the updated T2T genome references, respectively.
The 8p23.1 inversion was observed in the female when mapping OGM data to the T2T assembly. In contrast, under the GRCh38 reference, the orientation between the suspected breakpoints within the SD regions could not be distinguished. Additional variants of uncertain significance were also identified in both individuals.
Our findings highlight the superiority of the T2T reference in recognizing structural variations involving SD regions. The enhanced SV detection using the T2T reference may contribute to a better understanding of genome instability and human diseases.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
