Translating exome sequencing from research to clinical diagnostics.
In the relatively short time frame since the introduction of next generation sequencing, it has become a method of choice for complex genomic research studies. As a paradigm shifting technology, we are now witnessing its translation into clinical diagnostic laboratories for patient care. Multi-gene panels for a variety of disorders are now available in several clinical laboratories based on tar...
متن کاملWhole Exome Sequencing Reveals a BSCL2 Mutation Causing Progressive Encephalopathy with Lipodystrophy (PELD) in an Iranian Pediatric Patient
Background: Progressive encephalopathy with or without lipodystrophy is a rare autosomal recessive childhood-onset seipin-associated neurodegenerative syndrome, leading to developmental regression of motor and cognitive skills. In this study, we introduce a patient with developmental regression and autism. The causative mutation was found by exome sequencing. Methods: The proband showed a gener...
متن کاملCommittee Opinion No. 682 Summary: Microarrays and Next-Generation Sequencing Technology: The Use of Advanced Genetic Diagnostic Tools in Obstetrics and Gynecology.
Genetic technology has advanced dramatically in the past few decades, and its applications and use in caring for and counseling pregnant women has been transformational in the realm of prenatal diagnosis. Two of the newer genetic technologies in the prenatal setting are chromosomal microarray and whole-exome sequencing. Chromosomal microarray analysis is a method of measuring gains and losses o...
متن کاملClinical exome sequencing in neurologic disease.
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The landscape of genetic diagnostic testing has changed dramatically with the introduction of next-generation clinical exome sequencing (CES), which provides an unbiased analysis of all protein-coding sequences in the roughly 21,000 genes in the human genome. Use of this testing, however, is currently limited in clinical neurologic practice by the lack of a framework for appro...
متن کاملInterpretation of Clinical Next-Generation Sequencing Data: A Hurdle to Jump Over
Next-generation sequencing (NGS) has been revolutionary for the clinical diagnostics field. With its high throughput sequencing power and plummeting cost, it has been increasingly used in clinical labs. Instead of testing the candidate genes one at a time by Sanger sequencing, now a lab can test a group of candidate genes at the same time using the NGS method. For example, many clinical labs no...
متن کاملDNA Sequence Analysis in Clinical Medicine, Proceeding Cautiously
Delineation of underlying genomic and genetic factors in a specific disease may be valuable in establishing a definitive diagnosis and may guide patient management and counseling. In addition, genetic information may be useful in identification of at risk family members. Gene mapping and initial genome sequencing data enabled the development of microarrays to analyze genomic variants. The goal ...
