The article discusses the use of whole genome linked-read sequencing to assign variants to haplotypes in patients with inherited retinal dystrophies. Conventional sequencing methods face challenges in accurately identifying phase information of causative variants in recessive diseases, a problem that can be overcome by whole genome linked-read sequencing technology.
Conventional next-generation sequencing methods, used in most gene panels, cannot separate maternally and paternally derived sequence information of distant variants. In recessive diseases, two or more equally plausible causative variants with unsolved phase information prevent accurate molecular diagnosis. In reality, close relatives might be unavailable for segregation analysis. Here, we utilized whole genome linked-read sequencing to assign variants to haplotypes in two patients with inherited retinal dystrophies. Patient 1 with macular dystrophy had variants c.3442T>C, p.(Cys1148Arg), c.4209G>T, p.(Glu1403Asp), and c.1182C>T, p.(Cys394=) inCRB1, and Patient 2 with nonsyndromic retinitis pigmentosa had c.1328T>A, p.(Val443Asp) and c.3032C>G, p.(Ser1011*) inAHI1. The relatives were not available for genotyping. Using whole genome linked-read sequencing we phased the variants to haplotypes providing genetic background for the retinal dystrophies. In future, when the price of sequencing methods that provides long-read data decreases and their read-depth and accuracy increases, they are probably considered the primary or adjunctive sequencing methods in genetic testing, allowing the immediate collection of phase information and thus obviating the need for the carrier testing and segregation analysis.
