Abstract(s)

Molecular genetic testing has not been used extensively as the primary diagnostic test for LSDs but this may change with the advent of rapid, reliable and affordable high-throughput DNA sequencing, the so called next generation sequencing. The aim of this work was to develop a next-generation sequencing (NGS)-based workflow for the identification of variations in exons and their intronic flanking regions in genes involved in lysosomal function.
