Whole exome sequencing to identify genetic causes of short stature.
BACKGROUND/AIMS Short stature is a common reason for presentation to pediatric endocrinology clinics. However, for most patients, no cause for the short stature can be identified. As genetics plays a strong role in height, we sought to identify known and novel genetic causes of short stature. METHODS We recruited 14 children with severe short stature of unknown etiology. We conducted whole ex...
متن کاملUsing Whole-Exome Sequencing to Identify Inherited Causes of Autism
Despite significant heritability of autism spectrum disorders (ASDs), their extreme genetic heterogeneity has proven challenging for gene discovery. Studies of primarily simplex families have implicated de novo copy number changes and point mutations, but are not optimally designed to identify inherited risk alleles. We apply whole-exome sequencing (WES) to ASD families enriched for inherited c...
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 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...
متن کاملWhole exome and whole genome sequencing.
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The purpose of this review is to describe the new DNA sequencing technologies referred to as next-generation sequencing (NGS). These new methods are becoming central to research in human disease and are starting to be used in routine clinical care. RECENT FINDINGS Advances in instrumentation have dramatically reduced the cost of DNA sequencing. An individual's entire genome ...
