The test, developed by researchers at Sydney’s Garvan Institute of Medical Research and contributors from Australia, UK and Israel, covers a class of more than 50 diseases classified as “Short Tandem Repeat (STR) expansion disorders.” These are diseases caused by an abnormally long repetitive DNA sequence in a patient’s genes.
