Comprehensive genetic testing for hereditary hearing loss using massively parallel sequencing.
The extreme genetic heterogeneity of nonsyndromic hearing loss (NSHL) makes genetic diagnosis expensive and time consuming using available methods. To assess the feasibility of target-enrichment and massively parallel sequencing technologies to interrogate all exons of all genes implicated in NSHL, we tested nine patients diagnosed with hearing loss. Solid-phase (NimbleGen) or solution-based (S...
متن کامل[Hereditary hearing loss: genetic counselling].
The aim of this review is to provide an updated overview of hereditary hearing loss, with special attention to the etiological diagnosis of sensorineural hearing loss, the genes most frequently mutated in our environment, the techniques available for their analysis and the clinical implications of genetic diagnosis. More than 60% of childhood sensorineural hearing loss is genetic. In adults, th...

متن کاملTargeted massively parallel sequencing provides comprehensive genetic diagnosis for patients with disorders of sex development.
Disorders of sex development (DSD) are rare disorders in which there is discordance between chromosomal, gonadal, and phenotypic sex. Only a minority of patients clinically diagnosed with DSD obtains a molecular diagnosis, leaving a large gap in our understanding of the prevalence, management, and outcomes in affected patients. We created a novel DSD-genetic diagnostic tool, in which sex develo...
متن کاملGenetic Testing in Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer Using Massive Parallel Sequencing
High throughput methods such as next generation sequencing are increasingly used in molecular diagnosis. The aim of this study was to develop a workflow for the detection of BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations using massive parallel sequencing in a 454 GS Junior bench top sequencer. Our approach was first validated in a panel of 23 patients containing 62 unique variants that had been previously Sanger se...
