Info:
Scientists from Saudi Arabia published a paper in Gene demonstrating the use of targeted sequencing to detect pathogenic variants associated with familial hypercholesterolemia, including the discovery of a novel heterozygous variant. Pippin Prep was used for DNA size selection prior to sequencing on an Ion Torrent PGM.
