Their recent papers illustrate a focus on neurological genetics and advanced sequencing technologies:

  • CGG expansion in NOTCH2NLC is associated with oculopharyngodistal myopathy with neurological manifestations, 2020, Acta Neuropathologica Communications
  • Rapid and comprehensive diagnostic method for repeat expansion diseases using nanopore sequencing, 2022, npj Genomic Medicine
  • Long-read sequencing identifies the pathogenic nucleotide repeat expansion in RFC1 in a Japanese case of CANVAS, 2020, Journal of Human Genetics
  • Complete sequencing of expanded SAMD12 repeats by long-read sequencing and Cas9-mediated enrichment, 2021, Brain
  • CCR2 is localized in microglia and neurons, as well as infiltrating monocytes, in the lumbar spinal cord of ALS mice, 2020, Molecular Brain

These publications highlight methods such as long-read sequencing and nanopore sequencing for diagnosing and understanding repeat expansion diseases and neurodegenerative disorders.
