#DYK Duchenne and Becker Muscular Dystrophy (DMD and BMD, respectively) are among the most common inherited neuromuscular conditions in children? Molecular confirmation of both DMD and BMD can be difficult given the high percentage of causative intronic and small copy number variants (CNVs). Because genome sequencing has higher sensitivity than exome for detecting small copy number variants, and breakpoint analysis can determine the location and orientation of copy number gains, genome sequencing was able to detect DMD and BMD variants that other technologies, such as WES, could not.
