In Silico identification of a common mobile element insertion in exon 4 of RP1
Abstract Mobile element insertions (MEIs) typically exceed the read lengths of short-read sequencing technologies and are therefore frequently missed. Recently, a founder Alu insertion in exon 4 of RP1 has been detected in Japanese patients with macular dystrophy by PCR and gel electrophoresis. We a...

Abstract Mobile element insertions (MEIs) typically exceed the read lengths of short-read sequencing technologies and are therefore frequently missed. Recently, a founder Alu insertion in exon 4 of RP1 has been detected in Japanese patients with macular dystrophy by PCR and gel electrophoresis. We aimed to develop a grep search program for the detection of the Alu insertion in exon 4 of RP1 using unprocessed short reads. Among 494 unrelated Korean patients with inherited eye diseases, 273 patients with specific retinal phenotypes who were previously genotyped by targeted panel or whole exome sequencing were selected.
