Breakpoint analysis reveals Alu/Alu-mediated rearrangement as the potential generating mechanism of SLC16A2 intronic deletion. A. The deletion is located in the intron 1 of the SLC16A2 gene and flanked by the AluY1 and the AluY2 repeat sequences. Sanger sequencing confirmed the breakpoints. B. High sequence similarity between the two AluY sequences implies Alu/Alu-mediated rearrangement as the responsible generating mechanism of this deletion. Breakpoints are highlighted in red
