Whole exome sequencing for handedness in a large and highly consanguineous family.
Pinpointing genes involved in non-right-handedness has the potential to clarify developmental contributions to human brain lateralization. Major-gene models have been considered for human handedness which allow for phenocopy and reduced penetrance, i.e. an imperfect correspondence between genotype and phenotype. However, a recent genome-wide association scan did not detect any common polymorphi...
متن کاملimproved diagnostic yield of neuromuscular disorders applying clinical exome sequencing (ces) in patients arising from a consanguineous population
neuromuscular disorders (nmds) include a broad range of diseases affecting muscles, nerves and neuromuscular junctions. approximately 761 different disorders occur in this group which is subdivided into 16 different subgroups with 406 known genes. nmds are genetically and clinically heterogeneous conditions. the advent of next generation sequencing (ngs) approaches has accelerated the pace of d...
متن کاملTransferring Exome Sequencing Data from Clinical Laboratories to Healthcare Providers: Lessons Learned at a Pediatric Hospital
The adoption rate of genome sequencing for clinical diagnostics has been steadily increasing leading to the possibility of improvement in diagnostic yields. Although laboratories generate a summary clinical report, sharing raw genomic data with healthcare providers is equally important, both for secondary research studies as well as for a deeper analysis of the data itself, as seen by the effor...
متن کاملGuidelines for Large-Scale Sequence-Based Complex Trait Association Studies: Lessons Learned from the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project.
Massively parallel whole-genome sequencing (WGS) data have ushered in a new era in human genetics. These data are now being used to understand the role of rare variants in complex traits and to advance the goals of precision medicine. The technological and computing advances that have enabled us to generate WGS data on thousands of individuals have also outpaced our ability to perform analyses ...
متن کاملLessons from Genetic Studies of Primary Immunodeficiencies in a Highly Consanguineous Population
During the last decades, the study of primary immunodeficiencies (PIDs) has contributed tremendously to unravel novel pathways involved in a variety of immune responses. Many of these PIDs have an autosomal recessive (AR) mode of inheritance. Thus, the investigation of the molecular basis of PIDs is particularly relevant in consanguineous populations from Middle East and North Africa (MENA). Al...
