A Next Generation Sequencing approach to the mutational screening of patients affected with systemic autoinflammatory disorders: diagnosis improvement and interpretation of complex clinical phenotypes
نویسندگان
چکیده
Introduction Systemic autoinflammatory diseases (SAIDs) are a group of monogenic disorders characterized by inflammation which occurs in the absence of pathogenic auto-antibodies, autoreactive T lymphocytes or other infective causes. More than 50% of SAID patients recruited to our Unit does not show any mutation at gene(s) tested by direct Sanger sequencing in the routine diagnosis. Clinical misdiagnosis, mutations in untested gene regions and genetic heterogeneity are possible explanations.

Strategies and Clinical Applications of Next Generation Sequencing
Abstract DNA sequencing is one of the great valuable techniques in molecular biology, which can be used to detect the sequence of nucleotides in a DNA fragment. The high-throughput sequencing known as Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) revolutionized genomic research and molecular biology; therefore, the whole human genome can be sequenced with a low cost in several days. NGS technology is simi...
