Costa-Riquetto,Aline D.; Santana,Lucas S.; Caetano,Lílian A.; Lerário,Antônio M.; Correia-Deur,Joya E. M.; Bertola,Débora R.; Kim,Chong A.; Nery,MárciaABSTRACT Objective: Our aim is to establish genetic diagnosis of congenital generalized lipodystrophy (CGL) using targeted massively parallel sequencing (MPS), also known as next-generation sequencing (NGS). Subjects and methods: Nine unrelated individuals with a clinical diagnosis of CGL were recruited. We used a customized panel to capture genes related to genetic lipodystrophies. DNA libraries were generated...
