This paper evaluates the clinical use of long-read genome sequencing in Sweden, showing it provides molecular diagnoses and reduces diagnostic costs.

The paper identifies biallelic variants in RNU2-2 as a frequent cause of a severe developmental epileptic encephalopathy, distinct from a dominant disorder, and links them to reduced U2-2 abundance.

The paper identifies 14 individuals with biallelic RNU2-2 variants causing a severe developmental and epileptic encephalopathy, supported by phenotyping and fibroblast RNA sequencing.
