We evaluated 19 patients with a prediagnosis of repeat disorders and explained the molecular etiology of 9 of them with OGM (5 patients with Facioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy (FSHD), 2 patients with Friedreich's Ataxia (FA), 1 patient with Fragile X Syndrome (FXS), and 1 patient with Progressive Myoclonic Epilepsy 1A (EPM1A)). We confirmed OGM results with more widely used fragment analysis techniques. This study highlights the utility of OGM as a diagnostic tool for repeat expansion and contraction diseases such as FA, FXS, EPM1A, and FSHD.
