Limitations
While the panel analyzes 70 genes related to optic atrophy and neuropathy, certain technical limitations are inherent to NGS technologies. These include potential issues with detecting low-frequency variants, very large insertions/deletions, and certain regions with high GC content. Not all covered regions may have uniform coverage leading to potential false negatives in poorly covered areas.
