Practical considerations in the clinical application of whole-exome sequencing.
Despite the exciting advent of whole-exome sequencing (WES) in medical genetics practices, the optimal interpretation of results requires further actions such as reconsidering clinical information and obtaining further laboratory testing. There are no published data to guide clinicians in this process. In a retrospective study on 93 patients who underwent clinical WES, we set out to assess and ...
متن کاملWhole Exome Sequencing for Mutation Screening in Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis
Background: Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is an immune system disorder characterized by uncontrolled hyper-inflammation owing to hypercytokinemia from the activated but ineffective cytotoxic cells. Establishing a correct diagnosis for HLH patients due to the similarity of this disease with other conditions like malignant lymphoma and leukemia and similarity among its two forms is dif...

متن کاملClinical whole-exome sequencing for the diagnosis of mendelian disorders.
BACKGROUND Whole-exome sequencing is a diagnostic approach for the identification of molecular defects in patients with suspected genetic disorders. METHODS We developed technical, bioinformatic, interpretive, and validation pipelines for whole-exome sequencing in a certified clinical laboratory to identify sequence variants underlying disease phenotypes in patients. RESULTS We present data...
متن کاملComparing whole genome sequencing and exome sequencing
Introduction Next-generation DNA sequencing empowers scientists to identify genetic variations associated with human disease at higher resolution and greater sensitivity than previously possible. Two approaches are commonly employed -exome sequencing and whole genome sequencing. Exome sequencing targets protein-coding regions comprising approximately 1% of the human genome, while whole genome s...
