We describe for the first time a method of long read sequencing wherein we utilized approach of long range targeted amplification of FXN-GAA repeats and sequencing on oxford MinION platform. We were able to achieve the successful amplification of GAA repeats ranging from 180-1200 at 250x coverage. The total throughput achievable for 96 samples can be less than 24 hours on one flow cell as per our protocol and is scale-able and deploy-able at clinical day to sequencing.
