Abstract
The study presents the frequency analysis of different genetic types of MED in a cohort of 99 unrelated patients from the Russian population. The most prevalent types were MED type 4 (64,6%) and MED type 1 (20,2%). The rare MED types 2, 3, and 5 represented 15,2% of cases. A total of 45 nucleotide variants were identified in the SLC26A2, COMP, COL9A2, COL9A3, and MATN3 genes, with 26 being novel (57,7%). The findings highlight that the broad use of massively parallel sequencing significantly improves the identification of different genetic types of MED.
